Since ancient times, sand devils have conquered villains

His eyes suddenly darkened.

The strength in her hands disappeared. The moment Shi Dai stood up, her vision suddenly changed.

Just as the weird voice said, what is described in this illusion is the scene of purgatory.

Shi Dai smelled the faint smell of blood.

This is an endless wasteland, with blurry mountains visible in the distance.
The sky was covered with a depressing dark red tone, like an upside-down sea of ​​blood, and the clouds were billowing like surging blood.

On the ground, there are several copper pillars rising from the ground.

Like the pillars with hundred-mile flutes tied to them, these copper pillars are extremely thick and long, surrounded by ghosts on both sides, holding fans to generate wind.
The copper pillars were red with heat, and some of them were tied with unrecognizable human figures. All of them were twitching and struggling, but they could not escape and could only endure the burning pain that was worse than death.

One of the eighteen levels of hell, the Bronze Pillar Hell.

Glancing at the empty palms, Shi Dai sighed secretly.

The place looked very big, there was no one else around her, and most of the guests had been teleported to different locations.

When the illusion invaded, Jiang Baiyan and Shen Liushuang both held her hands to prevent them from getting separated.
The result was still separation.

Fortunately she had the talisman with her.

Having been in Dazhao for so long, Shi Dai has gained a lot of experience. Unlike when she first traveled through time, she could only hide in a cupboard when seeing monsters.

So... what's going on now?
Holding an exorcism talisman in her hand, Shi Daijing took a few steps forward with concentration.

The little ghost fanning the wind was a black shadow, without a face, and even his figure was extremely hazy.
Alarmed by someone approaching, a little ghost slowly turned its head.

Shi Dai held the exorcism talisman tighter, preparing to fight back.

The two looked at each other, the kid shook his head and turned around to fan himself again.
It's like he didn't see her, or maybe he saw her and didn't care.

The ghosts in the illusion don't seem to be aggressive.

Shi Dai did not dare to let down her guard and stepped forward.

The victim this time was Baili Xiao.
She knew very little about the Baili family and had only met Baili Xiao once.

In my impression, that man was taciturn, and his attitude towards Shen Liushuang was slightly cold compared to Ye Wanxing's impeccable behavior.

The murderer killed him and created an illusion with great fanfare so that his miserable state could be seen by everyone...
for what?
Passing between the copper pillars, Shi Dai was frowning and thinking when she heard a strange young boy's voice.

"Hey! Girl!"

The clear and melodious voice is full of vitality and childishness, like a brisk bird.

Shi Dai turned around following the sound and saw a young man in blue.
Thick eyebrows and bright eyes, very familiar——

It was the Confucian scholar who was at the banquet.

"It's like meeting someone."
The young man quickly approached and pointed at himself: "I'm not a bad person. We met at the banquet, do you remember?"

of course I remember.
Shi Dai smiled: "I know. You are a student of Wenyuan Academy, right?"

She imitated the other party's posture and pointed to herself: "My name is Shi Dai, and I am a guest at Baili's house."

Today, Shi Dai wore a simple bun with a heart-to-heart bun and a peach-patterned light crimson robe. She smiled, her eyes were bright and soft, and she was elegant.
It's an extremely friendly gesture.

When the other party saw this, he relaxed a little: "My name is Nie Zhan, and I am indeed from the academy."

Nie Zhan was a happy-go-lucky person. He sighed softly, grinned and joked:
"We are both really unlucky. One is here as a guest and the other is here to eat, so we got involved in this kind of thing."

Shi Dai also laughed: "Is it a waste of money?"

"I've heard that the food of the wealthy people in Jiangnan is very good."
Nie Zhan said: "Otherwise, who would want to see the fake smiles of a group of people from the Baili family?"

He spoke directly, with a frank expression and a hint of absent-mindedness.

Shi Dai did not forget the business: "What do you think of this place?"

"I don't know much about illusions."
Nie Zhan shook his head: "You must be a master to create such a big illusion."

Shi Dian said, "I wonder how Baili Xiao is doing."

Not long ago, Baili Xiao, who was tied to a copper pillar, was still struggling, barely clinging to life.
Whether it is a real person or an illusion, this person must be in danger.

"According to the murderer's wishes, Bailixiao was thrown into Tongzhu Hell."
Nie Zhan raised his eyebrows and said, "I remember... in this hell, those who set fire are imprisoned."

Eighteen levels of hell, each level has a different meaning.
Shi Dai didn't know much about this, so she followed his words and asked, "Arson?"

"Set fires to hurt people and so on. Set fires while alive, and then be burned as punishment after death."
Nie Zhan said: "The murderer deliberately arranged such a huge illusion and chose the Bronze Pillar Prison. Do you think it was revenge for what Baili Xiao had done?"

The implication is that Baili Xiao may have caused harm to others by setting fires.

Shi Dai's heart moved.
It’s related to Baili’s family and fire——

The boat on which Shen Liushuang's parents were killed happened to be burned by fire.

She had quick association skills, connected two things together, and vaguely made a guess.

The real culprit who killed Shen Liushuang's parents has not yet been caught.
Could someone find out the truth and use this method to avenge them?
Thinking about it this way, it makes sense to present Baili Xiao's tragic situation in front of everyone in the Baili family——
Show the sins he has committed and let everyone take a good look at what kind of face he looks like.

"However," Shi Dai came back to her senses, "Why does the murderer want to take revenge on Baili Xiao and drag us into the illusion?"

"Who knows what that guy was thinking."
Nie Zhan shrugged: "I just gave it a try. The little ghosts in the illusion won't hurt anyone - even if I stab them with a knife, they will only focus on fanning the copper pillars."

Shi Dai: ...So did you really try to provoke me with a knife?
Shi Dai looked at the person in front of her again.

In her imagination, Confucian scholars have always been the image of smooth, gentle and elegant scholars, such as Bai Qing, who also came from Wenyuan Academy.
This is one of the most gentle and elegant people Shi Dai has ever seen.

Nie Zhan has a sharp name and a rebellious appearance. Depending on his personality...
Anyway, it has nothing to do with elegance.

At this moment, he was standing lazily by a copper pillar. He seemed to be very curious about the hot pillar and stretched out a finger towards it.
Feeling the scorching temperature in the air, Nie Zhan quickly retracted his hand before touching the copper pillar.

"So, the murderer didn't intend to hurt us."
Shi Dai watched with amusement: "Let's go forward and see if we can meet up with others?"

There were so many people at the banquet, it was impossible for them not to meet even one person.

Furthermore, although there is no danger at the moment, there is no guarantee that an unexpected situation will occur.
She was a little worried about Shi Yunsheng, who was still young, and Shen Liushuang, who was feared by the Baili family.

Jiang Baiyan's blood Gu must also be untied in time.

Nie Zhan: "Okay!"

The illusion has no boundaries and the scene remains unchanged.
The tens of thousands of copper pillars make people tired of looking at them. When Shi Dai walked among them, it felt like they were copied and pasted again and again.

Fortunately, there is someone around me who I can chat with to relieve my boredom.

"Wenyuan Academy is in the north, right?"
Shi Dai asked: "What are you doing in Yuezhou?"

"Secret message."
Nie Zhan pretended to be mysterious and lowered his voice: "The Book Sage has come to Yuezhou."

Shi Dai was surprised: "Book Sage?"

The name of the calligrapher is known to everyone in the world.
As a well-deserved great scholar, the calligraphy sage has lived for more than 200 years, and his skills have reached the realm of transformation. It is said that he can move mountains and fill rivers.

It is precisely because of him that Wenyuan Academy is firmly established as the number one academy.

"Yes."
When it comes to calligraphy sage, Nie Zhan and Yourong Yan said: "It is the chief of Wenyuan Academy who is the number one Confucian scholar, master of calligraphy, and powerful in magic, who has killed thousands of evil spirits in one night."

Shi Dai:......
Shi Dai: Hey, why are so many people here?

After listening to Nie Zhan's many names, Shi Dai couldn't help but laugh: "Why did the Book Sage come to Yuezhou?"

Shi Jingcheng is also here.
Shi Dai didn't think it was a coincidence that the two appeared in Yuezhou at the same time.

"I don't know."
Nie Zhan caressed his chin: "The Holy Dragon of Books has never seen its end. Even in Wenyuan Academy, it is difficult for us to meet him. I heard that he has arrived in Yuezhou, so I will follow him to have a look. Maybe we can encounter something interesting. Son."

Unexpectedly, he was involved in this case.

"correct."
Nie Zhan asked: "You came to Baili's house to be a guest..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a childish voice: "Sister."

Shi Dai quickly turned around.

The light in the illusion was dim, and two familiar figures stood under the shadow not far away.
When Shi Yunsheng saw her, he was obviously relieved. Next to him was Jiang Baiyan, dressed in white and holding a sword.

"Aren't you hurt?"
Shi Dai suddenly smiled, stepped forward quickly, and rubbed Shi Yunsheng's head: "Are you scared?"

Shi Yunsheng let her rub it gently and responded in a low voice: "I won't be scared."

As she spoke, the child looked at her calmly.

There was no smell of blood on his body, and there was no blood on his skirt.
Not injured.
Shi Yunsheng looked away.

Shi Dai bent her eyes and glanced at Jiang Baiyan: "Did you two meet by chance?"

His expression remained normal, and it seemed that the blood poison had not occurred.

"Ah."
Jiang Baiyan responded quietly, his eyes flashed past Nie Zhan, and he nodded slightly: "Jiang Baiyan."

"My name is Nie Zhan, and I come from Wenyuan Academy."
Seeing the other party announcing his family status, Nie Zhan chuckled: "I can feel your sword intention, it is very strong."

Shi Dai and others were not named Baili, but claimed to be guests.
Those who can be related to the Baili family are not ordinary people. Looking at Jiang Baiyan's strength...

Nie Zhan thought for a while, but he had never heard of such figures in Yuezhou.

"This is my brother, Shi Yunsheng."
After meeting the two of them, Shi Dai calmed down a bit. After introducing Shi Yunsheng, she asked Jiang Baiyan: "Do you know anything about this illusion?" "The illusion is extremely vast and consumes a lot of energy. It is by no means a temporary creation."
Jiang Baiyan said: "The murderer must have made preparations in advance and set up a formation in the banquet hall."

"Prepare in advance?"
Nie Zhan: "The guy who set up the formation is someone from the Baili family?"

He paused, scratched his head and explained: "It's the first time that the other two and I are back today."
It refers to Qin Jiujiu and Song Ting.

Not necessarily.
Shi Dai was clearing her thoughts in her mind.

The murderer was able to create such a grand illusion, so he must be very powerful. If he wanted to, he could sneak into the house secretly from the outside.

Of course she didn't say that.

Shi Yunsheng hugged the long knife tightly in his arms: "Isn't there an illusionist among the guests?"

"Illusion and illusion are not the same."
Shi Dai patiently explained: "Illusion is the use of smoke to create an ethereal illusion. If you reach out and touch it, you can't touch it."

This is clearly not the case at the moment.

"Illusions mostly rely on formations."
Shi Dai continued: "Use the formation to create a half-real and half-false space - you see, the copper pillars are visible and tangible, and they still have temperature."

Illusions are more difficult and more real than illusions.

"And if it's an illusionist."
Nie Zhan muttered: "His identity is too obvious. As long as we can get out and report to the official, Song Ting will definitely be doomed."

Shi Dai half-joked: "I hope we can get out."

Until now, they have no clue about the exit of the illusion.

"Anyway, let's find Song Ting first."
Nie Zhan was full of enthusiasm: "In the final analysis, illusion and illusion are the same. Let's ask him, maybe there is a way to break the situation."

Shi Dai nodded and was about to answer when her sleeves were gently pulled.
Looking up, Jiang Baiyan's long eyelashes drooped slightly and he looked at her quietly.

Shi Dai understood and asked: "Blood Gu?"

Jiang Baiyan: "Yeah."
He tilted his head slightly: "Go over there."

Blood Gu is not something worth talking about in detail, and it would be troublesome for Nie Zhan to explain it when he saw the two of them feeding blood.

Jiang Baiyan whispered: "I have something to tell you."

something?What's up?

Shi Dai looked at him suspiciously, then turned to Nie Zhan and Shi Yun and said, "Can you please wait here?"
She had already thought of a suitable reason: "Jiang Baiyan is injured, let me take a look at him."

Nie Zhan said hurriedly: "No problem! You go, I will take care of my brother."

Shi Yunsheng knew the blood poison and could tell right from wrong, so he wouldn't stop him: "Okay."
Thinking about it makes me feel irritable. When can the antidote to the blood poison be found?His sister was given blood every half month, and the cuts on her hands healed and then scratched.

Shi Dai talked softly with Jiang Baiyan, then turned and left.
Nie Zhan looked at the backs of the two of them and touched Shi Yunsheng's arm with his elbow: "Brother, are these your sister and brother-in-law?"

Shi Yunsheng:?
Shi Yunsheng:? ? ?

The child suddenly raised his dark eyes: "How is that possible?"

Jiang Baiyan wants to be his brother-in-law?
Dream it.

Nie Zhan raised his eyebrows: "No?"

Confucian scholars are the most sensitive to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.While talking to Shi Dai, he vaguely noticed that the sword in Jiang Baiyan's hand vibrated slightly.

It only lasted a moment, but it was extremely sharp and cold, like a snake showing its fangs.
When Nie Zhan examined it again, the sword became quiet and clear again, with a soft aura.

Thinking of that moment of coldness, Nie Zhan rubbed his arms that were covered in goosebumps.

It should be...not an illusion, right?

*
Shi Dai didn't go too far and stopped behind a standing copper pillar.
The thick copper pillars just block the view.

She was familiar with the way and took out the knife from her sleeve: "What do you want to say?"

Just as he was about to cut his fingertips with a knife, Jiang Baiyan held his wrist down.
Shi Dai was puzzled: "What's wrong?"

The effect of the blood poison is gradual. The pain is not deep at the moment, and Jiang Baiyan's expression is the same as usual.
He didn't know what he was thinking, his eyes seemed to be shining in the dark night. He looked at her for a long time and smiled: "Aren't you afraid of pain?"

"It's just a small cut."
Shi Dai straightened her body: "I'm not afraid of this."

How can she be so delicate?
The corners of Jiang Baiyan's lips curled up slightly.

Without saying anything, he put his fingers together and took the knife from Shi Dai's hand.
This was a thin silver-white dagger with a blade as thin as a cicada's wing. When Jiang Baiyan held it, a cold light emitted from the tip.

Shi Dai was slightly startled, and then saw a flash of sword light.

Jiang Baiyan cut his own fingertip.

He has a pair of beautiful hands, with clear bones, slim and well-proportioned, and the meridians intertwined on the wrists are clearly identifiable, like cold jade.
A few drops of blood fell, and they were shockingly red.

"this."
Jiang Baiyan raised his arm and put his left hand in front of Shi Dai: "Drink it."

Shi Dai couldn't keep up with his train of thought: "What are you drinking it for?"

When the blood voodoo attacks, shouldn't it be Jiang Baiyan who swallowed her blood?Doesn't it work the other way around?

Shi Dai couldn't figure out what he said, and her heart beat hard because of her sixth sense.
Such a premonition is not good.

Jiang Baiyan smiled: "Drink it and it won't hurt anymore."

Shi Dai:?
Shi Dai frowned a little: "Why?"

She didn't remember that the shark's blood had the effect of relieving pain.
To be precise, looking at the entire Dazhao area, using blood to relieve pain is a fantasy.

Injury and pain are your own business, how can it stop because of the blood of others?After searching through the memory completely, the only thing related to it was——

Shi Dai paused.

Scars will not disappear, but they can be transferred.
Jiang Baiyan knew this very well.

He once worked as a puppet for evil cultivators for several years.

Shi Dai clenched her sleeves tightly and asked him steadily: "Why won't I feel pain if I drink your blood?"

She is not someone to be fooled.
Jiang Baiyan had no intention of hiding it, and smiled casually: "It's a technique to transfer your pain to me."

Having followed evil cultivators for many years, besides swordsmanship, Jiang Baiyan is best at evil arts.

He made all the preparations in advance, except for the last step.
Let Shidai drink his blood.

The blood poison broke out half a month ago. In Shi's mansion, Shi Dai cut his fingertips.
She never cried out in pain, but Jiang Baiyan could see clearly that the dagger cut open the flesh, and Shi Dai frowned.

She doesn't like pain.
However, due to the blood Gu, he had to endure the pain.

This is the pain that comes from him.

Whatever Shi Dai didn't like, Jiang Baiyan would just accept it for her.
A small scratch on his fingertip was insignificant to him.

The blood poison in the body gradually broke out, and the surge of pain seeped into the bone marrow.
Jiang Baiyan raised his eyes and breathed out slightly: "Just one drop is enough, you have a taste."

Shi Dai was confused: "I don't need this kind of technique, you-"

Her words came to an abrupt end.
As he opened his mouth, Jiang Baiyan reached closer with his left hand and touched her lips with his index finger.

He was stunned for a moment, then moved his fingertips inward, brushed his lips, and probed into Shi Dai's mouth.

Everything happened in just a moment, and there was no room for her to react.

A strange, paradoxical feeling.
Jiang Baiyan's eyes were in a trance.

He never thought there was anything special about lips, and he found kisses between men and women dirty and boring.

When the fingertips are wrapped in Shidai, everything they touch is moist and soft, as if they are trapped in a dizzying whirlpool.

There were wisps of pain, accompanied by a hot and humid feeling, going straight from the fingertips to the bottom of my heart.

very itchy.
Teach him to indulge in it.

Last night, Shi Dai said those words of "selfishness" to him.
Jiang Baiyan went back to his room and sat in front of the couch. He didn't sleep all night. These two short words kept echoing in his heart, lingering.

Every time I turn around, I feel a sense of sweetness.

Selfishness.
Jiang Baiyan also had the selfish intention of being born because of her and only for her.

It's a pity that he didn't get more personal belongings from Shi Dai, so he could only use such simple evil magic.
If Shi Dai wants to make him her substitute——

The ends of Jiang Baiyan's eyes raised in arcs of joy.

He spoke in a gentle voice, as if to persuade: "I've wiped this place well."

The accumulated love surged like an undercurrent, causing a thin blush on her cheeks.
His fingertips brushed against the soft flesh of Shi Dai's mouth, and his heart began to beat loudly.

Wanting Shi Dai to taste more of him, whether blood, fingers, or anything else.
But he must restrain his shady desires, otherwise he will scare her.

His spine trembled, Jiang Baiyan breathed out softly: "It doesn't matter, it's not dirty."

——What is Jiang Baiyan thinking?What does he think of himself?
Shi Dai's heart felt astringent, and she was a little annoyed for no reason. She suddenly opened her mouth and bit down on his fingertips.
