Chapter 11 Human Realm
Chapter 11 Returning to the Human World
When he returned to the human world, the sun was just right, the sky was blue, and there was a gentle breeze. Shen Li stepped on the white clouds and landed in a small corner of the capital.Breathing the clean air that she hadn't seen for a long time, Shen Li couldn't help but stretch her waist, took a deep breath, and squinted her eyes. She suddenly wanted to find a shady place with a grape trellis to sleep. She thought, if there were still creaking noises There's nothing better than having a rocking chair hypnotize your ears.
Taking a long breath, Shen Li opened her eyes and looked at the unfamiliar alley, smiling softly.
Whatever you were thinking about, it’s all in the past.
When she came out of the demon world, the soldier told her that Fulongjun was heading towards Yangzhou.But Shen Li didn't care, and came to the capital first after driving the clouds. Before looking for Fulong Jun, she had to have enough fun on her own.This time without the pursuers behind her, Shen Li was much more leisurely, and she went to the market specifically.Walking in front of the stall wearing silk and satin with her head held high, she felt like she was avenging her shame.
After visiting the market, Shen Li found the small courtyard where Xingyun lived back then based on his memory.
At this time, decades had passed since the last time she came to the human world. The appearance of some streets and alleys had changed, and Xingyun's charred house had also been rebuilt.It's just that the appearance is very different from before.She stood at the door for a while, and several children ran past her making noises, laughing all the way, disturbing the peace.This was a scene that had never appeared at the entrance of Xingyun Courtyard before. That guy was so fond of purity.
It's... completely different.
Shen Li turned around and went to the then Prince Rui's Mansion.The royal residence has not changed much. It is still in the same place, and the pavilions and pavilions inside are even more magnificent than before.It's just that the owner here has changed.Shen Li suddenly wanted to see if the dull little lotus plant from back then was still withering in the pond, and suddenly wanted to know what the final outcome would be between King Rui and the woman he loved so much.
She recited a formula, used a blind trick, and walked in through the gate. However, after walking around, she discovered that the pond back then had been filled in and another house had been built. Shen Li was silent.There are no traces of Prince Rui in the palace. The new owner changed this place into his world according to his own preferences.
Things have changed, people have changed.
Shen Li suddenly felt a little unwilling. To her, it seemed like it happened not long ago. Those memories she had seemed to have no trace in this world.It's like... being abandoned by this world.Or, could it be that... there is no such person in this world, everything is just her fantasy...
She was startled and eager to seek confirmation. As soon as she escaped, she went to the palace. In the place where the history books were kept, she read through the books recording the deeds of that year.
Prince Rui finally killed his brother and ascended the throne. However, Princess Rui, who came back from the dead, did not accept the title of "Queen" throughout her life. She became a monk and lived her life with the ancient Buddha of Qingdeng. , King Rui also never established a queen because of her.
The reasons are not recorded in the history books, perhaps because the historians felt that this was just an insignificant event in the emperor's magnificent life.Shen Li looked at these few descriptions and thought of Xiao He who never looked back. Compared with Ye Shi, she didn't even have a single description.No one knew of her existence, perhaps even the emperor had forgotten about her.After all, so many people died for the emperor.Her fingertips crossed the page and landed quietly on the four words "National Master Xingyun".
He was the person whom King Rui relied on most in his life, but he was never given a title. He was only posthumously named Grand Master by King Rui after his death.
This is the only trace he left in this world. When this page is turned, it is someone else's history.Shen Li suddenly felt funny. What on earth was she seeking to prove, what was she looking for!Even if the whole world remembers Xingyun, what does it have to do with her.Her memories are only her own memories because they are related to her.And regardless of whether Xingyun is true or false, he is a thing of the past.No part of the past can be retrieved.
Shen Li patted his forehead, shook his head and smiled.How could she be so confused over a memory?It really damages King Bicang's reputation.
Shen Li disappeared and left the palace.Walking outside the palace city, she suddenly stopped, then changed direction and walked towards the market.She bought two bottles of wine and left the city leisurely.Walking to the small river on the outskirts of the city, Shen Li packed up his robes, sat down on the grass, and called out in a loud voice: "How long will the Lord Shen follow you?"
The man in white clothes walked out quietly from behind the tree, without the slightest embarrassment of having his whereabouts revealed. Xing Zhi calmly sat down next to Shen Li and said calmly: "When did you notice it?"
"Master Shen." Shen Li handed him a bottle of wine, "If Shen Li was so stupid, he would have been killed on the battlefield."
Xing Zhi smiled, took the wine bottle and shook it, and the two of them were silent for a while.
"Yesterday..."
"God Lord..."
The two spoke at the same time and fell silent at the same time.Finally, Xing Zhi smiled and said: "Yesterday was my fault. I wanted to apologize to you today, but when I woke up, I realized that you had come to the human world, so I followed you." His eyes fell on the flowing river. There was a twinkling light in his eyes, and although his tone was calm, you could hear the slightly awkward sigh because he didn't apologize often: "I'm sorry."
Shen Li has always had a temper that accepts soft things but not hard ones. Xing Zhi said this, which made her a little stunned. She was stunned for a while and then said: "It's okay... There are many ways to bully Furongjun from left to right. And they are directed at Shenjun. Losing his temper... In the words of Demon Lord's reprimand, even if he is guilty of the following, Shen Li is also at fault."
Silence for a moment.The two fell silent again.
"Before..." Shen Li seemed to have made up his mind, and suddenly pointed to a piece of grass not far in front and said, "Once I was lying there with my original body, exhausted and unable to move. I have never been like this in my life. It’s so embarrassing.”
As if he remembered something, a smile appeared in Xingzhi's eyes.
Shen Li turned her head and saw his slightly curved eyebrows, but felt a little sad in her heart. "At that time, when I was picked up, I didn't say it, but I did feel a sense of redemption, as if I had met a legendary hero." She smiled, "It was the first time in my life that I saw my hero. He is such an ordinary mortal. If you grab his neck, you can suffocate him to death without using too much force."
"It was probably from that time on that I fell in love with Xingyun." This was the first time she mentioned Xingyun so calmly and soberly in front of Xingzhi.She waited for a while, but didn't hear Xing Zhi speak. She sighed slightly: "Shenjun, Xingyun, Shen Li is not stupid."
The river flowed quietly, and the sound of the water mixed with Shen Li's words reached her ears. Xing Zhi smiled suddenly: "I was seen through again."
It was getting late, the setting sun was brilliant, and even the small river was reflected in its ripples.
This is a beautiful scenery rarely seen in the demon world. Shen Li looked at the golden water and took a sip of wine. "Actually, I have noticed it for a long time. I just can't figure it out. Why do you want to go to the human world and become a frustrated mortal when the world is so good?"
"Ha." Xingyun shook his head, "This position is really frustrating." He paused. "And when you live as long as me, you will know that boredom will become the reason for you to do many things. Back in the lower world, I just wanted to be reincarnated as an ordinary mortal and live a life that a mortal should live, but... ..." Xing Zhi smiled helplessly, "The Tao of Reincarnation gave me a mortal body, but Meng Po Soup did not wash away my memory of being a god."
Shen Li was stunned. She didn't expect that he had really entered the path of reincarnation and drank Meng Po soup.However, a bowl of Meng Po soup did not wash away the memory of God.That's why Xingyun knew so many strange formations, but he didn't have any magic power and couldn't even see ghosts. "How can a mortal body afford so many memories? No wonder he is a sick man." Shen Li realized and paused, "Since you remember everything, why do you pretend that you don't know me?"
After a moment of silence, he turned to look at Shen Li: "It's the same reason you drove Mo Fang back to the capital at the border of the demon world."
Because I don’t like it, I don’t want the other person to be delayed because of me.That's right, when he was Xingyun, he didn't say a word of acceptance to her. After returning to his position, it would be even more impossible.Rather than knowing each other, why not pretend to be strangers... Shen Li lowered his eyes, that's what he meant.The Ancient God could not respond to her feelings for Xingyun, so he simply pretended not to know her to prevent her from extending her feelings for Xingyun to him.
Cut off all thoughts of her?
Shen Li smiled: "Shenjun, do you know what kind of actions can prevent the other person from falling in love with you?" She sighed: "Those actions of yours are just to seduce people..." Or... At that time, he himself didn't know what he was doing.
Xingzhi's eyes moved: "Were you seduced?"
He obviously wanted to cut off the connection between the two, but he still dared to ask such a question... What a wanton guy.
Shen Li held the jug and laughed out loud: "Is it possible?" She stopped laughing and said: "The Lord of Gods really thinks too much. How could Shen Li, King of Bi Cang, be so imprudent? When he was in the human world, Shen Li I only faced Xingyun, a mortal, so I could like Xingyun, but now that you are an ancient god, how can I extend my feelings to you?"
Xingzhi tightened his fists, but there was a slight smile on his lips.
Shen Li continued: "The change of identity will change too many things. Just like Prince Rui would kill his brothers for the throne, he loved the princess so much, and in the end, he still married so many concubines for the sake of his children, family and country. This is not It’s not that he is wrong, it’s just because of his status. If Shen Li meets you on the battlefield one day, I will also become Shen Li, King of Blue Cang."
Xing Zhi looked at Shen Li steadily, his eyes slightly focused.Shen Li continued to smile: "Of course, the Demon Realm and the Heaven Realm are about to get married, and that won't happen one day. What I want to say today is just - if you don't want to be Xingyun, you will no longer be Xingyun. There is nothing to hide or pretend. . Originally, Xingyun was already dead to me. But what I am facing now is the god - Xingzhi."
Xing Zhi interjected: "Chen Li, from the beginning to the end, Xing Yun and Xing Zhi are just me."He subconsciously didn't want Shen Li to separate him and look at him.
But Shen Li shook his head and said: "To me, it's different. So..." Shen Li touched the wine bottle with him: "Shenjun Xingzhi, I will be my King Bi Cang and marry Fu according to your will. Rong Jun. I will have nothing to do with you anymore, so you don’t have to worry."
There was a "ding" sound, the flask collided, and the vibration from the crisp sound seemed to hit his chest, making his heart tremble involuntarily, and a trace of pain spread silently in his blood, dimming his vision.But after being silent for a long time, he still twitched the corners of his lips and said with a smile: "Okay, it's great that the prince can think so."
The sun had set, but the afterglow was still there. Shen Li had finished drinking the wine in the jug, and threw the jug into the river with a "gu dong" sound, which seemed to bring an end to the conversation.
Shen Li stood up and said: "The city gate is about to be closed. Shen Li doesn't need to come to the capital from now on. I want to go to Yangzhou to find someone. What is the Lord Shen's plan?" Xingzhi didn't answer. While they were silent, they suddenly heard a few words Strange footsteps sounded behind.
The reason why it was strange was that both Shen Li and Xing Zhi easily heard that this was definitely not a heavy step that a mortal could take.
Shen Li looked stern and leaned down. This was the river grassland. The terrain was shallow and blocked by vegetation. The path was on the embankment above. It was dark at this time. If you weren't paying attention, you wouldn't be able to see anyone in the grassland.Xing Zhi saw Shen Li's expression serious, but smiled softly and said, "Why are you hiding?"
Shen Li glanced at him sideways: "Can't you feel it?" She stared at the embankment and stopped breathing: "The breath is too strange, and it is not a kind one." It also appeared at dusk - a time when evil in the human world is extremely heavy...
"Even so, you don't have to pull me to hide with you." Xing Zhi looked at Shen Li's hand that pushed him down on the grass.
Shen Li coughed lightly and took back his hand.What she said was beautiful before, but in this situation, Shen Li still subconsciously regarded Xingzhi as the fragile human being who needed her protection, and forgot that the current Xingzhi Shenjun, even if he had to walk sideways in the three realms , the people next to him had no choice but to give way to him and see him off.
But Shen Li never expected that as soon as she left Xing Zhi alone, Xing Zhi acted as if he didn't know anything. He stood up and patted his clothes.He simply didn't take the other person seriously at all... It was extremely presumptuous.
Yes, why did Shen Li forget that even when he was such a weak Xingyun, this guy could tease the crown prince's figure in front of him despite being surrounded, let alone the body of a divine king now.No matter how indifferent the expression on his face was, in his heart, he was so unbridled and arrogant from the beginning to the end.
The sound alarmed a group of four people walking on the embankment. One of them seemed to be being held by three other people, with his hands behind his back.Shen Li took a closer look and saw the shape of antlers on his head among the huge fluttering headscarf. Thinking of the boundary here, she tentatively called: "Lake deer?"
The man in custody trembled all over. Although he did not speak, he confirmed Shen Li's guess.
Hu Lu is an earthly immortal, and without the will of heaven, who would dare to capture people randomly, and these three people are not soldiers of heaven at first glance.Shen Li frowned. Before they could take action, the leading man in black drew his sword out of its sheath and slashed at him without saying a word.
Shen Li grasped the palm of his hand, and before the red tassel silver gun appeared, Xing Zhi pressed her shoulder. Shen Li turned to look at him, and saw a water column rushing forward from behind him, and with a "swish", the leader The whole body of the man in black was wet, and then there was a chill, and the leading man in black was unable to move as if his feet were suddenly stuck to the ground.The leading man in black slowly formed tiny pieces of ice all over his body, and he was actually frozen.When the other two men in black saw this, they wanted to run away, but they couldn't help but waved their hands and followed the same pattern, leaving the two men where they were.
Shen Lime raised an eyebrow: "Ice condensation technique?"
"No, Shisui."
Shen Li didn't know much about water spells, so she didn't think it was such a great spell. She stepped forward, walked to Hu Lu, took off the big scarf covering his head, and saw the scar on Hu Lu's head. The horn was entangled with a bright light, which extended down his head, tied his mouth, then strangled his throat and submerged it into the collar.Shen Li frowned: "What kind of seal is this?"
At that time, Xingzhi also pulled down the turban of a man in black and saw the man in black staring at him with his eyes wide open. Xingzhi pulled his eyelashes and asked him to close his eyes.The man in black was even angrier, but his eyelids were still pulled down by Xing Zhi.Hearing Shen Li ask him, Xingzhi turned around and frowned slightly, then let go of the man in black and walked towards Shen Li. "The art of binding immortals."
His fingertips condensed and he lightly touched Hu Lu's forehead, and the magic of binding the immortal was broken. Hu Lu bent his waist and gasped loudly as if he was freed.After regaining his breath, Hu Lu looked at the two people in front of him, tears welling up in his eyes. "Thank you so much for saving my life! I thought I wouldn't survive this time, wuwu..."
Shen Li's mouth twitched, this big man really hasn't changed at all, he is as weak as before.
After Hu Lu had finished crying and wiped away his tears, he took a closer look at Shen Li: "Ah... you, you are..."
"Well, yes, I am. But I'm not here to coerce you this time." Shen Li nodded. She pointed to the three people next to her, "What's going on with them?"
"It's a long story. This is all caused by a sect of cultivating immortals." Hu Lu sighed, "Three months ago, a small sect of cultivating immortals called 'Fusheng Sect' became famous in the world. This has nothing to do with it. It's our business, but they started to hold banquets to invite immortals from all over the world to come together. Many immortals were invited, but there was no news after they went there. At that time, everyone didn't pay much attention to it, but that sect They sent people to invite the second group of Earth Immortals to come over, but the second group of Earth Immortals left and did not come back either. Only then did everyone feel that something was wrong. When the sect came to invite them for the third time, everyone refused to go over, but Unexpectedly, they turned against me and started arresting people by force.”
Xingzhi narrowed his eyes: "Capturing the Earthly Immortal privately is a serious crime committed by Heaven. Since this is the case, why not report it to Heaven?"
"Everyone wanted to take revenge. At first, they went to deliver the spiritual objects, but the next day they saw the spiritual objects dead in the wilderness. Later, some earth immortals wanted to go by themselves, but there was no news as soon as they left. How many earth immortals can there be? We invited two groups, arrested one group, and detained some people here and there, but there were not many left." When mentioning this matter, Hu Lu began to wipe his tears again, "There are hundreds of miles around the capital, I'm afraid the arrests I'm the only Earth Immortal left. I hid in the city for so long thanks to the crowds, but I was still caught today. If it weren't for you... Wuwu, I don't know how I would have been caught. Treat it."
Shen Li was surprised: "You earth immortals have an immortal body after all. Your magic power is not strong, but it's not that weak, right? Are you a soft persimmon? Can you pick it up at will?"
Hu Lu glanced at Shen Li aggrievedly: "It's not that there was no resistance... Some earthly immortals with high magic power also resisted, but they seemed to have special methods to deal with immortals. Like this immortal binding technique, after being immobilized, how could anyone struggle? There is no way to escape. And...I heard other earthly immortals mention it before that the tricks used by people from this immortal sect are not like magic, but..."
He glanced at Shen Li a few times and then said hesitantly: "It's like a spell from the devil world..."
A magic spell from the demon world?Shen Li frowned.
The Demon Realm submits to the Heaven Realm. Although there are dissenters in the clan, because the Demon Lord's policies are properly implemented and the interests of the Demon Clan are preserved to the maximum extent, no one has ever come into conflict with the Heaven Realm.However, there are always people in the heaven who think that the demons have sinister intentions. Even if they have surrendered for thousands of years, they are just hiding their abilities and biding their time for revenge. However, there have never been any major problems in the demon world, so those idle people have nothing to target.
And if the Earth Immortals were kidnapped one after another this time, if the Heaven Realm knew that they had even the slightest connection with the Demon Realm, even if only a tiny bit of evidence could be found for these relationships, the people in the Heaven Realm would think that the Demons had sinister intentions and their crimes could be punished.Not to mention that the demon lord and his tribe were tainted, the relationship between the two worlds that was not extremely stable in the first place must have been greatly affected.
Although Shen Li felt that there was nothing terrible about breaking up with people in the heaven, but if the breakup was because of being provoked by others, it would inevitably make her feel like she was being played, which would be very unpleasant. "Untie that water technique of yours." Shen Li walked towards the leader and gave instructions.Xingzhi raised his eyebrows: "It's not a good habit to summon the gods." After saying that, Xingzhi obediently understood the man's spell.I saw that Shen Li had grabbed the man's clothes and punched him to the ground. Without saying a word, he sat on his stomach, stepped on the left and right hands of the man in black with his two feet, and then smashed his jaw. Pinch it to prevent him from biting his tongue or swallowing poison.
"I will only ask each question once. If you don't answer, I will chop off your fingers and let you swallow them. Just count how many fingers you have." Her eyes were cold, and Xingzhi knew that she was not When it comes to threats or jokes, she actually does what she says. As a prince in the demon world, when she should be ruthless, her performance is never inferior.
The leading man in black trembled all over, trying to break away from Shen Li, but the pressure was like a heavy weight, preventing him from moving.
"Who told you to do this?"
The leading man in black had veins popping out on his forehead and was holding back his answer. Shen Li's other free hand took out a dagger from the waist of the man in black. She turned the dagger skillfully in her palm, and her eyes Seeing that the dagger was about to fall and cut off his finger, the leading man in black slowly squeezed out two words: "Master..."
Shen Li frowned, and before asking the second question, she saw that the man in black's face was getting greener and greener until it turned purple, and there seemed to be insects crawling in the veins on his forehead, and finally his eyes Suddenly, a sharp, painful scream came from his throat, and Shen Li only heard a "bang"——
Sticky blood splashed all over her hands, and even her face was inevitably covered in warmth.Shen Li looked at the corpse under him, threw the dagger, and stood up. The strong body of the man in black was like sand, flowing out of his clothes and scattering all over the floor.
No bones left.
"It must have been cursed before." She saw the clues. "If you answer these questions, you will die."
The lake deer was so scared that it was paralyzed and sat on the ground. "What a... what a vicious spell..."
Xingzhi's eyes were fixed, and he turned to look at the other two men in black, only to realize that they had closed their eyes, and they had committed suicide just now, but... they were not so ugly.Shen Li obviously also discovered this. She frowned slightly: "The clues are all broken."
"I...I overheard it before," Hu Lu said hesitantly, "They seem to be taking the captured Earth Immortal to a cliff cave with a huge waterfall and covered with ivy. Among them, only Qingya Cave Mansion fits the description."
Shen Li came over and said, "Go there first and take a look. If any other earth immortals are trapped, rescue them first."
Xingzhi pondered for a while and then said: "In order to avoid disturbing the situation, let's pretend to be these people first. Once we get close to the cave, everything will be easier."
"Okay, I'll leave the formations and spells to you when the time comes, and I'll beat them up."
Xing Zhi smiled when he heard this, picked up a wooden stick and knocked on Shen Li's forehead. "Girl, be reserved."
Shen Li was stunned for a moment, touched her forehead, turned away without saying a word.Previously, Xing Zhi had to deliberately hide himself in front of her, but now everything was revealed, and Xing Zhi's bad qualities were exposed.This time, his demeanor and tone were exactly the same as Xingyun's, which made Shen Li keep muttering in her heart and just wanted to drag him here and give him a good beating.How could there be anyone like him who could reject and seduce at the same time?
Before Shen Li could finish complaining in her heart, she suddenly felt that her clothes had changed and transformed into a black shorts dress. She was dressed the same as the three men in black just now. Xingzhi threw the wooden stick in his hand, and the wooden stick transformed into a human form , it was the appearance of the leader just now, and then his own clothes also changed. The tight black clothes made him look particularly capable, making this lazy and laid-back man instantly more heroic.
Shen Li cleared her throat: "Let's go."
Guided by Hu Lu, the group of people soon arrived at Qingya Cave, a hundred miles away. The cave was inside a waterfall. Shen Li subconsciously felt uneasy about crossing such a water curtain, but at this time, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and go up. .Without saying a word, she followed the steps of Hu Lu and stepped into the huge water curtain. But to her surprise, when she stepped into the cave behind the water curtain, she didn't get wet at all. She looked up , seeing the golden light barrier flashing away above his head, Shen Li turned his head to look at where he was going. He just stared at the dark cave in front of him and stepped forward.
Then just move forward and act like nothing happened.
Following a dark road to the depths and descending a few steps, their eyes suddenly lit up. A vermilion door suddenly appeared in front of them, blocking the road.
Hu Lu said that this place used to be a place where a big monster lived. The monster had a good temper and was on good terms with the earthly immortals.But for some reason, this place has now become a prison for the Earthly Immortal.
Several people didn't stand in front of the door for long, and the vermilion door opened slightly. "Token." The person inside said coldly.They did not take away the token from the man in black. Shen Li frowned and wanted to step forward and force the door open, but Xing Zhi held her hand and shook his head.
The "leader" who was transformed from a wooden stick stepped forward and held the door as if he had been seriously injured. The people inside were slightly wary: "What?"
"Door...Master..." The sound coming out of the stick man's mouth was exactly the same as the sound the man made just before his death.
When the people inside heard this, they didn't know what was going on, but they relaxed their vigilance. As soon as the door opened, Xing Zhi let go of Shen Li's hand. "Now." Shen Li understood, ducked into the door, and punched the doorkeeper to the ground.There was another guard on the right side. Before the man could react, Shen Li hit him on the neck with a knife.
The two men guarding the gate were easily dispatched.Xingzhi said to Hu Lu: "Just leave the inside to us. You can go back to your own territory to rest. These earth immortals will be released soon."
Hu Lu was a little hesitant: "They are very powerful... It's okay with you, right? Otherwise, I'd better go with you..."
Xing Zhi smiled and Shen Li said disdainfully: "You should worry about the other party."
Xingzhi turned the wooden stick back and placed it in Hulu's hand. "Take it for self-defense. You're welcome." After saying that, Xingzhi turned around and entered the cave.Hu Lu looked at the wooden stick in his hand in confusion. How could this thing... defend itself?
Shen Li squinted at Xing Zhi: "After all, he is an ancient god, how can he be so stingy about giving gifts to others?"
Xing Zhi smiled: "If he hadn't thrown away the wooden stick, no one within a hundred miles would be able to beat him." Xing Zhi thought, this was to thank him for providing useful clues, and also to thank him for the last time he was in the human world. I came here specially to save you, but even though I didn’t succeed...
After walking through another extremely long passage, Shen Li finally saw a light in front of her. She walked forward quickly, and her eyes suddenly lit up. She saw that this was a huge cylindrical cave with water below and a faint glow. The green light illuminated the entire cave in a green color. There were as many as ten upward paths winding around the cave wall.The captured Earth Immortals were locked up in iron cages alone, hung one by one from the top, and a straight line was pulled out in the center of the cave.There is a thin layer of light covering the outside of each cage, which is probably the same as the immortal binding technique on the lake deer before.
A group of men in black were busy going back and forth on the winding road, carrying some wooden boxes.
Shen Li took a closer look and saw that there were clay pots and some unknown black objects in those boxes, like... pills that had failed to be refined?
Are they making medicine?But what is the purpose of refining medicine and catching earth immortals?Drain their essence?
A strange scene of everyone doing shy things suddenly appeared in Shen Li's mind. She shook her head and said seriously: "How to save them?"
Xing Zhi smiled: "As you said before, leave the formations and spells to me, and you can beat them." After saying that, he waved his hand, and a golden light wrapped around the cage from top to bottom like a snake. "Broken." His voice was extremely soft, but it penetrated the entire cave, and those immortal binding techniques were broken in response.
Only then did the busy men in black react. Some of them moved the wooden boxes more nervously, while others attacked with big knives.Shen Li's silver gun was already in his hand, and Xing Zhi jumped up and flew to the iron cage, starting from the bottom one and opening the iron cages one by one.After he released all the earth immortals among them, Shen Li also finished taking care of the attacking men in black, while the others disappeared.
The earthly immortals all nodded and thanked.
"It's not suitable to stay here for a long time." Xingzhi said, "Let's go out first."
Seeing the sun again made many timid immortals cry, and everyone thanked Xingzhi, but the strange thing was that no one came to Shen Li to say thank you. Shen Li didn't notice this at all, but when she asked, "Do you know Where were those Earth Immortals who were captured earlier?" Then the eyes of all the Earth Immortals fell on her, and no one answered for a long time.
One of the young men couldn't hold his breath, pointed at Shen Li and said: "You demon guy has the nerve to ask! Don't you know where they went?" As soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately tugged at him. corner of clothes. "She saved us anyway, don't do this!"
Shen Li's eyebrows darkened: "I'll just say it once, the capture of the Earth Immortal has nothing to do with my demon clan. I only accidentally learned about it today..."
"Nonsense!" Xu Shi was imprisoned for a long time and was finally released. The anxiety in his heart turned into anger. The young man interrupted Shen Li, "It's you demons who are barbaric and have ulterior motives. You have been plotting evil. Now We didn’t know what to do after we were captured this time. Will we have to go to the heaven to arrest people next time? None of you guys from the demon clan are good! Your demon king is even more..."
Before he finished speaking, Shen Li was standing in front of him, grabbing his neck with one hand and lifting him up. "You can say one more arrogant word, and I, King Bi Cang, will separate your body into different families."
Seeing the red light in Shen Li's eyes, the young man who was pinching his neck almost fainted from fright. The Earth Immortal next to him was frightened and hurriedly apologized and persuaded Shen Li to let the man go, but Shen Li seemed not to hear it. He slowly tightened his fingers and saw that the man's face was gradually turning green.
Xingzhi frowned in disapproval and called out, "Chen Li." His eyes darkened slightly, and Shen Li only glanced sideways at him without letting go, but her strength was a little weaker.
"Cruel...cruel and barbaric..." The young man struggled to say these words. Shen Li smiled coldly, just stared at him and said: "I didn't want to kill you, but since you have killed me If you are convicted, I will confirm the crime and let you die a more peaceful death, okay?"
After saying this, she exerted force with her five fingers, and the young man's face turned even more purple, and there was a slight foaming at the corner of his mouth.The Earth Immortal next to him exclaimed repeatedly.Some immortals were so frightened that they cried.
A hand held her wrist at the right time. Xing Zhi did not force her to let go, but only advised: "If you kill him, it will be more difficult to clear the grievances of the devil world."
Shen Li felt even more aggrieved, and gritted his teeth and said, "This person is full of shit, despises my people, insults my king, and fabricates things that my demon clan has not done. If I don't abolish him, it will be difficult to relieve the anger in my heart."
"Chen Li..." Xing Zhi sighed softly, feeling extremely helpless.
How could Shen Li not understand the consequences of killing this earthly immortal, but the demon clan had always been slandered by such gossiping guys, so she had to endure it every time, no matter how willing she was.
Shen Li gritted his teeth and finally exerted force on his arm, throwing the Earth Immortal far away and breaking several small trees before stopping the castration.The man rolled his eyes, fell to the ground, and fainted.Some Earth Immortal hurriedly ran over and saw that he was seriously injured. He couldn't help complaining: "I just said a few words, but why did I get so angry? You people from the demon clan, can't you be considerate..."
"Considerate?" Shen Li felt that these immortals were extremely funny, and the magic power in their voices made everyone tremble. Some weak people covered their ears with pain on their faces, "I just don't understand you, and you don't care about me." what?"
She was furious, and when she spoke, her magic power was surging, without any restraint, but there was still magic power in her mouth. A big palm suddenly covered her mouth, making her choke back all the magic power, and forcefully pushed her forward. Pressing on the back, Shen Li felt her back pressed against the warm chest. The gentle breath from Xingzhi's body instantly enveloped her, as if some kind of spell had been cast on her. It was like the breeze blowing away the mist, letting her heart wander. The anger was gone, but only some unwillingness and grievance were left in my heart, making me feel depressed and flustered.
"Dear fellow immortals, those who captured you have demonic auras on their bodies. This does not mean that this matter was done by demons. It may be that someone with ulterior motives interfered with it and deliberately provoked the relationship between the heaven and demon worlds. I hope that all my fellow immortals will not do so. Listen to rumors to avoid falling into the trap of traitors.”
The sound of Xing Zhi's words vibrated her chest, making Shen Li feel a little dazed involuntarily. But when she saw the immortals in front of her, she felt angry again. She pushed Xing Zhi's hand away angrily, and Shen Li struggled out of his arms. , turned to glare at him, turned around and walked to the other side, kicking away the rocks and weeds under his feet as he walked, acting like a child venting his anger.
Xingzhi looked at her back, sighed and shook his head with a smile.He was not in a hurry to leave, but turned around and continued to talk to the immortals: "To be honest with you, I just stayed in the demon world a few days ago. The demons are not as bloodthirsty and warlike as you think. They have a cheerful personality and act directly. Decisive. Moreover, there are no preparations for large-scale military activities in the military camp. Just imagine, if the capture of the Earth Immortal is really the work of the demons, then they must be ready to fight against the heavens. If these preparations are not Armed rehearsals and large-scale troop mobilization are absolutely impossible."
When the immortals heard what he said, they began to think deeply.
An old man with white hair touched his beard and said: "As far as I know, the only one who went to the Demon Realm a few days ago was Furong Jun, the grandson of the Heavenly King. The woman just now called herself Bi Cang King Shen Li. Could it be that this couple is really the one in front of me? Two people?"
Xing Zhi's brows moved slightly, and he looked back and saw Shen Li standing against a tree in the distance, looking at the waterfall. The sound was loud, so she probably didn't hear anything.Xingzhi turned his head, the corners of his lips curved, and said: "Fu Rongjun and King Bicang have not yet consummated their marriage." However, he did not deny the relationship between the two.
The old man nodded: "Since I am an Immortal Lord, my words must be true."
"King Bi Cang is devoted to the demon clan, and she is extremely protective of her shortcomings. She won't let others slander her demon clan. She just acted like that because of her temper. I hope you can forgive me." Xing Zhi smiled, "In terms of honesty in character, handling things To be honest, I'm not as good as her. So you can believe what King Bi Cang just said."
The white-haired old man stroked his beard: "The Immortal Lord is very good to the prince, not as good as the previous rumors... uh... haha." The old man didn't finish his sentence, and started to laugh.
He remained silent, but the curvature of his lips tightened a little, his eyebrows slightly lowered, and he said softly: "Because, she is worth it."
After asking about what happened after he was captured, Xingzhi told the immortals to return to their own territory and guard it. The men in black in this area would probably not come again in a short time.Xingzhi asked them to take the opportunity to report this matter to heaven.After dismissing all the immortals, Xing Zhi walked slowly behind Shen Li without calling her, but Shen Li had noticed his presence and glanced at him slightly.
"all gone?"
Xingzhi nodded: "It seems that a group of people were taken away before them. They should be heading south, but they don't know the specific location."
"This is your heavenly matter and has nothing to do with me. If you want to save people, go and do it yourself. I'm going to Yangzhou." After saying that, Shen Li drove away in the clouds, but after flying for a while, he found that Xing Zhi had been following behind him. Shen Li turned around and glared. He said, "What are you going to do?"
Xingzhi smiled helplessly: "Yangzhou is also in the south. We are on the same road."
Shen Li was silent for a while. Although she was still a little angry in her heart, she was not in a hurry to drive away. Xing Zhi followed her for a while, getting closer and closer, and finally walked side by side with her. He glanced at Shen Li. Li glanced at him and asked, "Want to eat something?"
Shen Li had a hard mouth and said "I don't want to" coldly, but her stomach made a sound in response.The corner of her mouth twitched, and Ting Xingzhi smiled unkindly beside her.Shen Li was even more angry. She was about to run away on clouds, but her wrist was pulled by Xing Zhi. "There happens to be a family down there, let's go borrow the kitchen and make some food. I haven't eaten grains for a long time, so I miss it a little."
Shen Li's eyes moved: "You do it?"
Xing Zhi smiled slightly: "I will do it."
"Go down."
(End of this chapter)
When he returned to the human world, the sun was just right, the sky was blue, and there was a gentle breeze. Shen Li stepped on the white clouds and landed in a small corner of the capital.Breathing the clean air that she hadn't seen for a long time, Shen Li couldn't help but stretch her waist, took a deep breath, and squinted her eyes. She suddenly wanted to find a shady place with a grape trellis to sleep. She thought, if there were still creaking noises There's nothing better than having a rocking chair hypnotize your ears.
Taking a long breath, Shen Li opened her eyes and looked at the unfamiliar alley, smiling softly.
Whatever you were thinking about, it’s all in the past.
When she came out of the demon world, the soldier told her that Fulongjun was heading towards Yangzhou.But Shen Li didn't care, and came to the capital first after driving the clouds. Before looking for Fulong Jun, she had to have enough fun on her own.This time without the pursuers behind her, Shen Li was much more leisurely, and she went to the market specifically.Walking in front of the stall wearing silk and satin with her head held high, she felt like she was avenging her shame.
After visiting the market, Shen Li found the small courtyard where Xingyun lived back then based on his memory.
At this time, decades had passed since the last time she came to the human world. The appearance of some streets and alleys had changed, and Xingyun's charred house had also been rebuilt.It's just that the appearance is very different from before.She stood at the door for a while, and several children ran past her making noises, laughing all the way, disturbing the peace.This was a scene that had never appeared at the entrance of Xingyun Courtyard before. That guy was so fond of purity.
It's... completely different.
Shen Li turned around and went to the then Prince Rui's Mansion.The royal residence has not changed much. It is still in the same place, and the pavilions and pavilions inside are even more magnificent than before.It's just that the owner here has changed.Shen Li suddenly wanted to see if the dull little lotus plant from back then was still withering in the pond, and suddenly wanted to know what the final outcome would be between King Rui and the woman he loved so much.
She recited a formula, used a blind trick, and walked in through the gate. However, after walking around, she discovered that the pond back then had been filled in and another house had been built. Shen Li was silent.There are no traces of Prince Rui in the palace. The new owner changed this place into his world according to his own preferences.
Things have changed, people have changed.
Shen Li suddenly felt a little unwilling. To her, it seemed like it happened not long ago. Those memories she had seemed to have no trace in this world.It's like... being abandoned by this world.Or, could it be that... there is no such person in this world, everything is just her fantasy...
She was startled and eager to seek confirmation. As soon as she escaped, she went to the palace. In the place where the history books were kept, she read through the books recording the deeds of that year.
Prince Rui finally killed his brother and ascended the throne. However, Princess Rui, who came back from the dead, did not accept the title of "Queen" throughout her life. She became a monk and lived her life with the ancient Buddha of Qingdeng. , King Rui also never established a queen because of her.
The reasons are not recorded in the history books, perhaps because the historians felt that this was just an insignificant event in the emperor's magnificent life.Shen Li looked at these few descriptions and thought of Xiao He who never looked back. Compared with Ye Shi, she didn't even have a single description.No one knew of her existence, perhaps even the emperor had forgotten about her.After all, so many people died for the emperor.Her fingertips crossed the page and landed quietly on the four words "National Master Xingyun".
He was the person whom King Rui relied on most in his life, but he was never given a title. He was only posthumously named Grand Master by King Rui after his death.
This is the only trace he left in this world. When this page is turned, it is someone else's history.Shen Li suddenly felt funny. What on earth was she seeking to prove, what was she looking for!Even if the whole world remembers Xingyun, what does it have to do with her.Her memories are only her own memories because they are related to her.And regardless of whether Xingyun is true or false, he is a thing of the past.No part of the past can be retrieved.
Shen Li patted his forehead, shook his head and smiled.How could she be so confused over a memory?It really damages King Bicang's reputation.
Shen Li disappeared and left the palace.Walking outside the palace city, she suddenly stopped, then changed direction and walked towards the market.She bought two bottles of wine and left the city leisurely.Walking to the small river on the outskirts of the city, Shen Li packed up his robes, sat down on the grass, and called out in a loud voice: "How long will the Lord Shen follow you?"
The man in white clothes walked out quietly from behind the tree, without the slightest embarrassment of having his whereabouts revealed. Xing Zhi calmly sat down next to Shen Li and said calmly: "When did you notice it?"
"Master Shen." Shen Li handed him a bottle of wine, "If Shen Li was so stupid, he would have been killed on the battlefield."
Xing Zhi smiled, took the wine bottle and shook it, and the two of them were silent for a while.
"Yesterday..."
"God Lord..."
The two spoke at the same time and fell silent at the same time.Finally, Xing Zhi smiled and said: "Yesterday was my fault. I wanted to apologize to you today, but when I woke up, I realized that you had come to the human world, so I followed you." His eyes fell on the flowing river. There was a twinkling light in his eyes, and although his tone was calm, you could hear the slightly awkward sigh because he didn't apologize often: "I'm sorry."
Shen Li has always had a temper that accepts soft things but not hard ones. Xing Zhi said this, which made her a little stunned. She was stunned for a while and then said: "It's okay... There are many ways to bully Furongjun from left to right. And they are directed at Shenjun. Losing his temper... In the words of Demon Lord's reprimand, even if he is guilty of the following, Shen Li is also at fault."
Silence for a moment.The two fell silent again.
"Before..." Shen Li seemed to have made up his mind, and suddenly pointed to a piece of grass not far in front and said, "Once I was lying there with my original body, exhausted and unable to move. I have never been like this in my life. It’s so embarrassing.”
As if he remembered something, a smile appeared in Xingzhi's eyes.
Shen Li turned her head and saw his slightly curved eyebrows, but felt a little sad in her heart. "At that time, when I was picked up, I didn't say it, but I did feel a sense of redemption, as if I had met a legendary hero." She smiled, "It was the first time in my life that I saw my hero. He is such an ordinary mortal. If you grab his neck, you can suffocate him to death without using too much force."
"It was probably from that time on that I fell in love with Xingyun." This was the first time she mentioned Xingyun so calmly and soberly in front of Xingzhi.She waited for a while, but didn't hear Xing Zhi speak. She sighed slightly: "Shenjun, Xingyun, Shen Li is not stupid."
The river flowed quietly, and the sound of the water mixed with Shen Li's words reached her ears. Xing Zhi smiled suddenly: "I was seen through again."
It was getting late, the setting sun was brilliant, and even the small river was reflected in its ripples.
This is a beautiful scenery rarely seen in the demon world. Shen Li looked at the golden water and took a sip of wine. "Actually, I have noticed it for a long time. I just can't figure it out. Why do you want to go to the human world and become a frustrated mortal when the world is so good?"
"Ha." Xingyun shook his head, "This position is really frustrating." He paused. "And when you live as long as me, you will know that boredom will become the reason for you to do many things. Back in the lower world, I just wanted to be reincarnated as an ordinary mortal and live a life that a mortal should live, but... ..." Xing Zhi smiled helplessly, "The Tao of Reincarnation gave me a mortal body, but Meng Po Soup did not wash away my memory of being a god."
Shen Li was stunned. She didn't expect that he had really entered the path of reincarnation and drank Meng Po soup.However, a bowl of Meng Po soup did not wash away the memory of God.That's why Xingyun knew so many strange formations, but he didn't have any magic power and couldn't even see ghosts. "How can a mortal body afford so many memories? No wonder he is a sick man." Shen Li realized and paused, "Since you remember everything, why do you pretend that you don't know me?"
After a moment of silence, he turned to look at Shen Li: "It's the same reason you drove Mo Fang back to the capital at the border of the demon world."
Because I don’t like it, I don’t want the other person to be delayed because of me.That's right, when he was Xingyun, he didn't say a word of acceptance to her. After returning to his position, it would be even more impossible.Rather than knowing each other, why not pretend to be strangers... Shen Li lowered his eyes, that's what he meant.The Ancient God could not respond to her feelings for Xingyun, so he simply pretended not to know her to prevent her from extending her feelings for Xingyun to him.
Cut off all thoughts of her?
Shen Li smiled: "Shenjun, do you know what kind of actions can prevent the other person from falling in love with you?" She sighed: "Those actions of yours are just to seduce people..." Or... At that time, he himself didn't know what he was doing.
Xingzhi's eyes moved: "Were you seduced?"
He obviously wanted to cut off the connection between the two, but he still dared to ask such a question... What a wanton guy.
Shen Li held the jug and laughed out loud: "Is it possible?" She stopped laughing and said: "The Lord of Gods really thinks too much. How could Shen Li, King of Bi Cang, be so imprudent? When he was in the human world, Shen Li I only faced Xingyun, a mortal, so I could like Xingyun, but now that you are an ancient god, how can I extend my feelings to you?"
Xingzhi tightened his fists, but there was a slight smile on his lips.
Shen Li continued: "The change of identity will change too many things. Just like Prince Rui would kill his brothers for the throne, he loved the princess so much, and in the end, he still married so many concubines for the sake of his children, family and country. This is not It’s not that he is wrong, it’s just because of his status. If Shen Li meets you on the battlefield one day, I will also become Shen Li, King of Blue Cang."
Xing Zhi looked at Shen Li steadily, his eyes slightly focused.Shen Li continued to smile: "Of course, the Demon Realm and the Heaven Realm are about to get married, and that won't happen one day. What I want to say today is just - if you don't want to be Xingyun, you will no longer be Xingyun. There is nothing to hide or pretend. . Originally, Xingyun was already dead to me. But what I am facing now is the god - Xingzhi."
Xing Zhi interjected: "Chen Li, from the beginning to the end, Xing Yun and Xing Zhi are just me."He subconsciously didn't want Shen Li to separate him and look at him.
But Shen Li shook his head and said: "To me, it's different. So..." Shen Li touched the wine bottle with him: "Shenjun Xingzhi, I will be my King Bi Cang and marry Fu according to your will. Rong Jun. I will have nothing to do with you anymore, so you don’t have to worry."
There was a "ding" sound, the flask collided, and the vibration from the crisp sound seemed to hit his chest, making his heart tremble involuntarily, and a trace of pain spread silently in his blood, dimming his vision.But after being silent for a long time, he still twitched the corners of his lips and said with a smile: "Okay, it's great that the prince can think so."
The sun had set, but the afterglow was still there. Shen Li had finished drinking the wine in the jug, and threw the jug into the river with a "gu dong" sound, which seemed to bring an end to the conversation.
Shen Li stood up and said: "The city gate is about to be closed. Shen Li doesn't need to come to the capital from now on. I want to go to Yangzhou to find someone. What is the Lord Shen's plan?" Xingzhi didn't answer. While they were silent, they suddenly heard a few words Strange footsteps sounded behind.
The reason why it was strange was that both Shen Li and Xing Zhi easily heard that this was definitely not a heavy step that a mortal could take.
Shen Li looked stern and leaned down. This was the river grassland. The terrain was shallow and blocked by vegetation. The path was on the embankment above. It was dark at this time. If you weren't paying attention, you wouldn't be able to see anyone in the grassland.Xing Zhi saw Shen Li's expression serious, but smiled softly and said, "Why are you hiding?"
Shen Li glanced at him sideways: "Can't you feel it?" She stared at the embankment and stopped breathing: "The breath is too strange, and it is not a kind one." It also appeared at dusk - a time when evil in the human world is extremely heavy...
"Even so, you don't have to pull me to hide with you." Xing Zhi looked at Shen Li's hand that pushed him down on the grass.
Shen Li coughed lightly and took back his hand.What she said was beautiful before, but in this situation, Shen Li still subconsciously regarded Xingzhi as the fragile human being who needed her protection, and forgot that the current Xingzhi Shenjun, even if he had to walk sideways in the three realms , the people next to him had no choice but to give way to him and see him off.
But Shen Li never expected that as soon as she left Xing Zhi alone, Xing Zhi acted as if he didn't know anything. He stood up and patted his clothes.He simply didn't take the other person seriously at all... It was extremely presumptuous.
Yes, why did Shen Li forget that even when he was such a weak Xingyun, this guy could tease the crown prince's figure in front of him despite being surrounded, let alone the body of a divine king now.No matter how indifferent the expression on his face was, in his heart, he was so unbridled and arrogant from the beginning to the end.
The sound alarmed a group of four people walking on the embankment. One of them seemed to be being held by three other people, with his hands behind his back.Shen Li took a closer look and saw the shape of antlers on his head among the huge fluttering headscarf. Thinking of the boundary here, she tentatively called: "Lake deer?"
The man in custody trembled all over. Although he did not speak, he confirmed Shen Li's guess.
Hu Lu is an earthly immortal, and without the will of heaven, who would dare to capture people randomly, and these three people are not soldiers of heaven at first glance.Shen Li frowned. Before they could take action, the leading man in black drew his sword out of its sheath and slashed at him without saying a word.
Shen Li grasped the palm of his hand, and before the red tassel silver gun appeared, Xing Zhi pressed her shoulder. Shen Li turned to look at him, and saw a water column rushing forward from behind him, and with a "swish", the leader The whole body of the man in black was wet, and then there was a chill, and the leading man in black was unable to move as if his feet were suddenly stuck to the ground.The leading man in black slowly formed tiny pieces of ice all over his body, and he was actually frozen.When the other two men in black saw this, they wanted to run away, but they couldn't help but waved their hands and followed the same pattern, leaving the two men where they were.
Shen Lime raised an eyebrow: "Ice condensation technique?"
"No, Shisui."
Shen Li didn't know much about water spells, so she didn't think it was such a great spell. She stepped forward, walked to Hu Lu, took off the big scarf covering his head, and saw the scar on Hu Lu's head. The horn was entangled with a bright light, which extended down his head, tied his mouth, then strangled his throat and submerged it into the collar.Shen Li frowned: "What kind of seal is this?"
At that time, Xingzhi also pulled down the turban of a man in black and saw the man in black staring at him with his eyes wide open. Xingzhi pulled his eyelashes and asked him to close his eyes.The man in black was even angrier, but his eyelids were still pulled down by Xing Zhi.Hearing Shen Li ask him, Xingzhi turned around and frowned slightly, then let go of the man in black and walked towards Shen Li. "The art of binding immortals."
His fingertips condensed and he lightly touched Hu Lu's forehead, and the magic of binding the immortal was broken. Hu Lu bent his waist and gasped loudly as if he was freed.After regaining his breath, Hu Lu looked at the two people in front of him, tears welling up in his eyes. "Thank you so much for saving my life! I thought I wouldn't survive this time, wuwu..."
Shen Li's mouth twitched, this big man really hasn't changed at all, he is as weak as before.
After Hu Lu had finished crying and wiped away his tears, he took a closer look at Shen Li: "Ah... you, you are..."
"Well, yes, I am. But I'm not here to coerce you this time." Shen Li nodded. She pointed to the three people next to her, "What's going on with them?"
"It's a long story. This is all caused by a sect of cultivating immortals." Hu Lu sighed, "Three months ago, a small sect of cultivating immortals called 'Fusheng Sect' became famous in the world. This has nothing to do with it. It's our business, but they started to hold banquets to invite immortals from all over the world to come together. Many immortals were invited, but there was no news after they went there. At that time, everyone didn't pay much attention to it, but that sect They sent people to invite the second group of Earth Immortals to come over, but the second group of Earth Immortals left and did not come back either. Only then did everyone feel that something was wrong. When the sect came to invite them for the third time, everyone refused to go over, but Unexpectedly, they turned against me and started arresting people by force.”
Xingzhi narrowed his eyes: "Capturing the Earthly Immortal privately is a serious crime committed by Heaven. Since this is the case, why not report it to Heaven?"
"Everyone wanted to take revenge. At first, they went to deliver the spiritual objects, but the next day they saw the spiritual objects dead in the wilderness. Later, some earth immortals wanted to go by themselves, but there was no news as soon as they left. How many earth immortals can there be? We invited two groups, arrested one group, and detained some people here and there, but there were not many left." When mentioning this matter, Hu Lu began to wipe his tears again, "There are hundreds of miles around the capital, I'm afraid the arrests I'm the only Earth Immortal left. I hid in the city for so long thanks to the crowds, but I was still caught today. If it weren't for you... Wuwu, I don't know how I would have been caught. Treat it."
Shen Li was surprised: "You earth immortals have an immortal body after all. Your magic power is not strong, but it's not that weak, right? Are you a soft persimmon? Can you pick it up at will?"
Hu Lu glanced at Shen Li aggrievedly: "It's not that there was no resistance... Some earthly immortals with high magic power also resisted, but they seemed to have special methods to deal with immortals. Like this immortal binding technique, after being immobilized, how could anyone struggle? There is no way to escape. And...I heard other earthly immortals mention it before that the tricks used by people from this immortal sect are not like magic, but..."
He glanced at Shen Li a few times and then said hesitantly: "It's like a spell from the devil world..."
A magic spell from the demon world?Shen Li frowned.
The Demon Realm submits to the Heaven Realm. Although there are dissenters in the clan, because the Demon Lord's policies are properly implemented and the interests of the Demon Clan are preserved to the maximum extent, no one has ever come into conflict with the Heaven Realm.However, there are always people in the heaven who think that the demons have sinister intentions. Even if they have surrendered for thousands of years, they are just hiding their abilities and biding their time for revenge. However, there have never been any major problems in the demon world, so those idle people have nothing to target.
And if the Earth Immortals were kidnapped one after another this time, if the Heaven Realm knew that they had even the slightest connection with the Demon Realm, even if only a tiny bit of evidence could be found for these relationships, the people in the Heaven Realm would think that the Demons had sinister intentions and their crimes could be punished.Not to mention that the demon lord and his tribe were tainted, the relationship between the two worlds that was not extremely stable in the first place must have been greatly affected.
Although Shen Li felt that there was nothing terrible about breaking up with people in the heaven, but if the breakup was because of being provoked by others, it would inevitably make her feel like she was being played, which would be very unpleasant. "Untie that water technique of yours." Shen Li walked towards the leader and gave instructions.Xingzhi raised his eyebrows: "It's not a good habit to summon the gods." After saying that, Xingzhi obediently understood the man's spell.I saw that Shen Li had grabbed the man's clothes and punched him to the ground. Without saying a word, he sat on his stomach, stepped on the left and right hands of the man in black with his two feet, and then smashed his jaw. Pinch it to prevent him from biting his tongue or swallowing poison.
"I will only ask each question once. If you don't answer, I will chop off your fingers and let you swallow them. Just count how many fingers you have." Her eyes were cold, and Xingzhi knew that she was not When it comes to threats or jokes, she actually does what she says. As a prince in the demon world, when she should be ruthless, her performance is never inferior.
The leading man in black trembled all over, trying to break away from Shen Li, but the pressure was like a heavy weight, preventing him from moving.
"Who told you to do this?"
The leading man in black had veins popping out on his forehead and was holding back his answer. Shen Li's other free hand took out a dagger from the waist of the man in black. She turned the dagger skillfully in her palm, and her eyes Seeing that the dagger was about to fall and cut off his finger, the leading man in black slowly squeezed out two words: "Master..."
Shen Li frowned, and before asking the second question, she saw that the man in black's face was getting greener and greener until it turned purple, and there seemed to be insects crawling in the veins on his forehead, and finally his eyes Suddenly, a sharp, painful scream came from his throat, and Shen Li only heard a "bang"——
Sticky blood splashed all over her hands, and even her face was inevitably covered in warmth.Shen Li looked at the corpse under him, threw the dagger, and stood up. The strong body of the man in black was like sand, flowing out of his clothes and scattering all over the floor.
No bones left.
"It must have been cursed before." She saw the clues. "If you answer these questions, you will die."
The lake deer was so scared that it was paralyzed and sat on the ground. "What a... what a vicious spell..."
Xingzhi's eyes were fixed, and he turned to look at the other two men in black, only to realize that they had closed their eyes, and they had committed suicide just now, but... they were not so ugly.Shen Li obviously also discovered this. She frowned slightly: "The clues are all broken."
"I...I overheard it before," Hu Lu said hesitantly, "They seem to be taking the captured Earth Immortal to a cliff cave with a huge waterfall and covered with ivy. Among them, only Qingya Cave Mansion fits the description."
Shen Li came over and said, "Go there first and take a look. If any other earth immortals are trapped, rescue them first."
Xingzhi pondered for a while and then said: "In order to avoid disturbing the situation, let's pretend to be these people first. Once we get close to the cave, everything will be easier."
"Okay, I'll leave the formations and spells to you when the time comes, and I'll beat them up."
Xing Zhi smiled when he heard this, picked up a wooden stick and knocked on Shen Li's forehead. "Girl, be reserved."
Shen Li was stunned for a moment, touched her forehead, turned away without saying a word.Previously, Xing Zhi had to deliberately hide himself in front of her, but now everything was revealed, and Xing Zhi's bad qualities were exposed.This time, his demeanor and tone were exactly the same as Xingyun's, which made Shen Li keep muttering in her heart and just wanted to drag him here and give him a good beating.How could there be anyone like him who could reject and seduce at the same time?
Before Shen Li could finish complaining in her heart, she suddenly felt that her clothes had changed and transformed into a black shorts dress. She was dressed the same as the three men in black just now. Xingzhi threw the wooden stick in his hand, and the wooden stick transformed into a human form , it was the appearance of the leader just now, and then his own clothes also changed. The tight black clothes made him look particularly capable, making this lazy and laid-back man instantly more heroic.
Shen Li cleared her throat: "Let's go."
Guided by Hu Lu, the group of people soon arrived at Qingya Cave, a hundred miles away. The cave was inside a waterfall. Shen Li subconsciously felt uneasy about crossing such a water curtain, but at this time, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and go up. .Without saying a word, she followed the steps of Hu Lu and stepped into the huge water curtain. But to her surprise, when she stepped into the cave behind the water curtain, she didn't get wet at all. She looked up , seeing the golden light barrier flashing away above his head, Shen Li turned his head to look at where he was going. He just stared at the dark cave in front of him and stepped forward.
Then just move forward and act like nothing happened.
Following a dark road to the depths and descending a few steps, their eyes suddenly lit up. A vermilion door suddenly appeared in front of them, blocking the road.
Hu Lu said that this place used to be a place where a big monster lived. The monster had a good temper and was on good terms with the earthly immortals.But for some reason, this place has now become a prison for the Earthly Immortal.
Several people didn't stand in front of the door for long, and the vermilion door opened slightly. "Token." The person inside said coldly.They did not take away the token from the man in black. Shen Li frowned and wanted to step forward and force the door open, but Xing Zhi held her hand and shook his head.
The "leader" who was transformed from a wooden stick stepped forward and held the door as if he had been seriously injured. The people inside were slightly wary: "What?"
"Door...Master..." The sound coming out of the stick man's mouth was exactly the same as the sound the man made just before his death.
When the people inside heard this, they didn't know what was going on, but they relaxed their vigilance. As soon as the door opened, Xing Zhi let go of Shen Li's hand. "Now." Shen Li understood, ducked into the door, and punched the doorkeeper to the ground.There was another guard on the right side. Before the man could react, Shen Li hit him on the neck with a knife.
The two men guarding the gate were easily dispatched.Xingzhi said to Hu Lu: "Just leave the inside to us. You can go back to your own territory to rest. These earth immortals will be released soon."
Hu Lu was a little hesitant: "They are very powerful... It's okay with you, right? Otherwise, I'd better go with you..."
Xing Zhi smiled and Shen Li said disdainfully: "You should worry about the other party."
Xingzhi turned the wooden stick back and placed it in Hulu's hand. "Take it for self-defense. You're welcome." After saying that, Xingzhi turned around and entered the cave.Hu Lu looked at the wooden stick in his hand in confusion. How could this thing... defend itself?
Shen Li squinted at Xing Zhi: "After all, he is an ancient god, how can he be so stingy about giving gifts to others?"
Xing Zhi smiled: "If he hadn't thrown away the wooden stick, no one within a hundred miles would be able to beat him." Xing Zhi thought, this was to thank him for providing useful clues, and also to thank him for the last time he was in the human world. I came here specially to save you, but even though I didn’t succeed...
After walking through another extremely long passage, Shen Li finally saw a light in front of her. She walked forward quickly, and her eyes suddenly lit up. She saw that this was a huge cylindrical cave with water below and a faint glow. The green light illuminated the entire cave in a green color. There were as many as ten upward paths winding around the cave wall.The captured Earth Immortals were locked up in iron cages alone, hung one by one from the top, and a straight line was pulled out in the center of the cave.There is a thin layer of light covering the outside of each cage, which is probably the same as the immortal binding technique on the lake deer before.
A group of men in black were busy going back and forth on the winding road, carrying some wooden boxes.
Shen Li took a closer look and saw that there were clay pots and some unknown black objects in those boxes, like... pills that had failed to be refined?
Are they making medicine?But what is the purpose of refining medicine and catching earth immortals?Drain their essence?
A strange scene of everyone doing shy things suddenly appeared in Shen Li's mind. She shook her head and said seriously: "How to save them?"
Xing Zhi smiled: "As you said before, leave the formations and spells to me, and you can beat them." After saying that, he waved his hand, and a golden light wrapped around the cage from top to bottom like a snake. "Broken." His voice was extremely soft, but it penetrated the entire cave, and those immortal binding techniques were broken in response.
Only then did the busy men in black react. Some of them moved the wooden boxes more nervously, while others attacked with big knives.Shen Li's silver gun was already in his hand, and Xing Zhi jumped up and flew to the iron cage, starting from the bottom one and opening the iron cages one by one.After he released all the earth immortals among them, Shen Li also finished taking care of the attacking men in black, while the others disappeared.
The earthly immortals all nodded and thanked.
"It's not suitable to stay here for a long time." Xingzhi said, "Let's go out first."
Seeing the sun again made many timid immortals cry, and everyone thanked Xingzhi, but the strange thing was that no one came to Shen Li to say thank you. Shen Li didn't notice this at all, but when she asked, "Do you know Where were those Earth Immortals who were captured earlier?" Then the eyes of all the Earth Immortals fell on her, and no one answered for a long time.
One of the young men couldn't hold his breath, pointed at Shen Li and said: "You demon guy has the nerve to ask! Don't you know where they went?" As soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately tugged at him. corner of clothes. "She saved us anyway, don't do this!"
Shen Li's eyebrows darkened: "I'll just say it once, the capture of the Earth Immortal has nothing to do with my demon clan. I only accidentally learned about it today..."
"Nonsense!" Xu Shi was imprisoned for a long time and was finally released. The anxiety in his heart turned into anger. The young man interrupted Shen Li, "It's you demons who are barbaric and have ulterior motives. You have been plotting evil. Now We didn’t know what to do after we were captured this time. Will we have to go to the heaven to arrest people next time? None of you guys from the demon clan are good! Your demon king is even more..."
Before he finished speaking, Shen Li was standing in front of him, grabbing his neck with one hand and lifting him up. "You can say one more arrogant word, and I, King Bi Cang, will separate your body into different families."
Seeing the red light in Shen Li's eyes, the young man who was pinching his neck almost fainted from fright. The Earth Immortal next to him was frightened and hurriedly apologized and persuaded Shen Li to let the man go, but Shen Li seemed not to hear it. He slowly tightened his fingers and saw that the man's face was gradually turning green.
Xingzhi frowned in disapproval and called out, "Chen Li." His eyes darkened slightly, and Shen Li only glanced sideways at him without letting go, but her strength was a little weaker.
"Cruel...cruel and barbaric..." The young man struggled to say these words. Shen Li smiled coldly, just stared at him and said: "I didn't want to kill you, but since you have killed me If you are convicted, I will confirm the crime and let you die a more peaceful death, okay?"
After saying this, she exerted force with her five fingers, and the young man's face turned even more purple, and there was a slight foaming at the corner of his mouth.The Earth Immortal next to him exclaimed repeatedly.Some immortals were so frightened that they cried.
A hand held her wrist at the right time. Xing Zhi did not force her to let go, but only advised: "If you kill him, it will be more difficult to clear the grievances of the devil world."
Shen Li felt even more aggrieved, and gritted his teeth and said, "This person is full of shit, despises my people, insults my king, and fabricates things that my demon clan has not done. If I don't abolish him, it will be difficult to relieve the anger in my heart."
"Chen Li..." Xing Zhi sighed softly, feeling extremely helpless.
How could Shen Li not understand the consequences of killing this earthly immortal, but the demon clan had always been slandered by such gossiping guys, so she had to endure it every time, no matter how willing she was.
Shen Li gritted his teeth and finally exerted force on his arm, throwing the Earth Immortal far away and breaking several small trees before stopping the castration.The man rolled his eyes, fell to the ground, and fainted.Some Earth Immortal hurriedly ran over and saw that he was seriously injured. He couldn't help complaining: "I just said a few words, but why did I get so angry? You people from the demon clan, can't you be considerate..."
"Considerate?" Shen Li felt that these immortals were extremely funny, and the magic power in their voices made everyone tremble. Some weak people covered their ears with pain on their faces, "I just don't understand you, and you don't care about me." what?"
She was furious, and when she spoke, her magic power was surging, without any restraint, but there was still magic power in her mouth. A big palm suddenly covered her mouth, making her choke back all the magic power, and forcefully pushed her forward. Pressing on the back, Shen Li felt her back pressed against the warm chest. The gentle breath from Xingzhi's body instantly enveloped her, as if some kind of spell had been cast on her. It was like the breeze blowing away the mist, letting her heart wander. The anger was gone, but only some unwillingness and grievance were left in my heart, making me feel depressed and flustered.
"Dear fellow immortals, those who captured you have demonic auras on their bodies. This does not mean that this matter was done by demons. It may be that someone with ulterior motives interfered with it and deliberately provoked the relationship between the heaven and demon worlds. I hope that all my fellow immortals will not do so. Listen to rumors to avoid falling into the trap of traitors.”
The sound of Xing Zhi's words vibrated her chest, making Shen Li feel a little dazed involuntarily. But when she saw the immortals in front of her, she felt angry again. She pushed Xing Zhi's hand away angrily, and Shen Li struggled out of his arms. , turned to glare at him, turned around and walked to the other side, kicking away the rocks and weeds under his feet as he walked, acting like a child venting his anger.
Xingzhi looked at her back, sighed and shook his head with a smile.He was not in a hurry to leave, but turned around and continued to talk to the immortals: "To be honest with you, I just stayed in the demon world a few days ago. The demons are not as bloodthirsty and warlike as you think. They have a cheerful personality and act directly. Decisive. Moreover, there are no preparations for large-scale military activities in the military camp. Just imagine, if the capture of the Earth Immortal is really the work of the demons, then they must be ready to fight against the heavens. If these preparations are not Armed rehearsals and large-scale troop mobilization are absolutely impossible."
When the immortals heard what he said, they began to think deeply.
An old man with white hair touched his beard and said: "As far as I know, the only one who went to the Demon Realm a few days ago was Furong Jun, the grandson of the Heavenly King. The woman just now called herself Bi Cang King Shen Li. Could it be that this couple is really the one in front of me? Two people?"
Xing Zhi's brows moved slightly, and he looked back and saw Shen Li standing against a tree in the distance, looking at the waterfall. The sound was loud, so she probably didn't hear anything.Xingzhi turned his head, the corners of his lips curved, and said: "Fu Rongjun and King Bicang have not yet consummated their marriage." However, he did not deny the relationship between the two.
The old man nodded: "Since I am an Immortal Lord, my words must be true."
"King Bi Cang is devoted to the demon clan, and she is extremely protective of her shortcomings. She won't let others slander her demon clan. She just acted like that because of her temper. I hope you can forgive me." Xing Zhi smiled, "In terms of honesty in character, handling things To be honest, I'm not as good as her. So you can believe what King Bi Cang just said."
The white-haired old man stroked his beard: "The Immortal Lord is very good to the prince, not as good as the previous rumors... uh... haha." The old man didn't finish his sentence, and started to laugh.
He remained silent, but the curvature of his lips tightened a little, his eyebrows slightly lowered, and he said softly: "Because, she is worth it."
After asking about what happened after he was captured, Xingzhi told the immortals to return to their own territory and guard it. The men in black in this area would probably not come again in a short time.Xingzhi asked them to take the opportunity to report this matter to heaven.After dismissing all the immortals, Xing Zhi walked slowly behind Shen Li without calling her, but Shen Li had noticed his presence and glanced at him slightly.
"all gone?"
Xingzhi nodded: "It seems that a group of people were taken away before them. They should be heading south, but they don't know the specific location."
"This is your heavenly matter and has nothing to do with me. If you want to save people, go and do it yourself. I'm going to Yangzhou." After saying that, Shen Li drove away in the clouds, but after flying for a while, he found that Xing Zhi had been following behind him. Shen Li turned around and glared. He said, "What are you going to do?"
Xingzhi smiled helplessly: "Yangzhou is also in the south. We are on the same road."
Shen Li was silent for a while. Although she was still a little angry in her heart, she was not in a hurry to drive away. Xing Zhi followed her for a while, getting closer and closer, and finally walked side by side with her. He glanced at Shen Li. Li glanced at him and asked, "Want to eat something?"
Shen Li had a hard mouth and said "I don't want to" coldly, but her stomach made a sound in response.The corner of her mouth twitched, and Ting Xingzhi smiled unkindly beside her.Shen Li was even more angry. She was about to run away on clouds, but her wrist was pulled by Xing Zhi. "There happens to be a family down there, let's go borrow the kitchen and make some food. I haven't eaten grains for a long time, so I miss it a little."
Shen Li's eyes moved: "You do it?"
Xing Zhi smiled slightly: "I will do it."
"Go down."
