Sick Beauty [Rebirth]

The bitter fragrance of medicine wafted around the medicine house.

The bottom of the bronze medicine furnace on the high platform in the middle of the mountain was burning with a vigorous fire, and the blue flame rose, making a crackling sound.

There was a withered and scorched willow tree next to the medicine stove. Several crows stood on the branch, staring straight at the two people who passed by underneath.

Yuan Yongzhi felt the deep chill of Jianfeng on his vest, and the cold sweat flowed down his cheeks drop by drop.

Behind the willow, there is a narrow crack in the rock.

The light is dim in the crevices.

Ye Yunlan raised his sword and walked behind Yuan Yongzhi. He caught a glimpse of the dark red blood stains on the rock wall by the roadside, his eyes sinking slightly.

This medicine room is full of weirdness.

Did Shen Shu grow up in such an environment?

After walking through the cracks for a while, the front suddenly opened up.

What appeared in front of us was a valley in the mountains.

The setting sun shone down, and in the dim red light, there was a little **** air that would last for a long time in the valley.

A mountain breeze from nowhere blew by.

Obviously it was the warm spring season, but Ye Yunlan felt a little cold.

At this moment, he heard a roar that didn't look like a human being.

He looked at where the voice came from, and saw a row of prison houses opened up on the backing mountain rock wall, about dozens of them.

"What's in it?" he asked.

Yuan Yongzhi swallowed and answered honestly: "This...here are usually living creatures captured for refining medicine, such as spirit beasts and monsters. But sometimes, Master will also use it for disciples who made mistakes in the medicine room. , Let them here... face the wall to reflect."

It is normal for the master to teach the apprentice.

But keeping the disciples in such an unknown place would be wrong.

According to the principles of the Five Elements Fengshui, this valley in the mountain is a place where the Yin Qi converges in Qingyun Mountain. Such a place is prone to evil, and for practitioners, it is easy to have evil spirits.

Facing the wall and thinking about things in order to make the disciples reflect on their mistakes, not to destroy the human path.

"Who is your master?" Ye Yunlan asked suddenly.

Xue Zhong previously only told him the surname of the principal of the medicine house Liu, but did not tell him the specific name of the deacon.

Yuan Yongzhi wiped his sweat and replied, "Master Liu Qing."

Liu Qing.

Ye Yunlan frowned.

It turned out to be him.

He still has some impression of Liu Qing.

It's just that this impression was not made by him when he stayed in Tianzong, but after years, after he arrived at the Demon Sect, he heard of Liu Qing's deeds.

This person was originally an elder of Xuanhu Peak, the inner gate of Tianzong.

In Tianzong, Xuanhu Peak is also called Yaofeng, because most of the disciples who practice on Xuanhu Peak are medical practitioners. Liu Qing is a well-known medical practitioner on Yaofeng. The "Life-Returning Pill" he refines has the miraculous effect of regaining the sky and increasing longevity, which is hard to find in the world of cultivation.

And the reason why Liu Qing was demoted to the outside was not known to many people at first. Later, when Liu Qing became devilish, fell into the devil's way, and rebelled against the Tianzong, he was exposed. Liu Qing used a living person to practice privately. medicine.

The life-returning pill is made by living people.

Therefore, this pill is not a holy pill that takes the heavens and restores fate at all, but an evil drug that exchanges fate for life.

After Liu Qing rebelled against Tianzong, he became the guardian of the Demon Soul Refining Sect. Later, the Demon Soul Refining Sect was destroyed by the Demon Lord, but this man survived. Not only did he survive, he became a loyal lackey beside the Demon Lord.

Ye Yunlan had seen Liu Qing once, and he was covered in black robe, never making a sound, and would only loyally complete the task assigned by the devil.

Liu Qing finally died in the Qianshang Pond.

The soul eater that was nurtured by the Demon Lord consumed his body and soul and died. The death was extremely miserable.

The reason was simply that he was accidentally seriously injured at the time, and the Demon Lord ordered Liu Qing to refine the life-returning pill for him, but he refused.

At that time, Demon Lord said to Liu Qing: "Since Lan'er does not want you to concoct medicine for him, you are useless. Go to Qianshang Lake to receive punishment. It just so happens that the soul eater that the deity raised recently is still missing. Some nourishment."

Then he heard Liu Qing's trembling voice for the first time, which was extremely hoarse and stern: "Your honor! I have been driven by you for so many years, you can't do this to me—"

Mozun waved his sleeves impatiently, and the guardian from left and right stepped out and dragged Liu Qing away.

"You said, you have been with me for so many years, but how can you forget my rules. I said, I don't like hearing your voice." Demon Lord said coldly, and ordered the left and right guardians, "Take him Throw it into the Qianshang Pond, you don’t have to fish it out anymore."

He was seriously injured, was held in his arms by Demon Venerable, and felt wrong when he heard the words.

The Demon Lord raised his hand to pinch his chin and pressed his fingertips against his pale and bloodless lips. His tone was careless, and it seemed to have sullenness hidden: "Lan'er, don't make me angry anymore."

Mozun has always been known for his cruelty and violence, but after he was sent into the magic door, the other side's attitude towards him has been gentle.

He almost forgot that this man was a moody, life-threatening demon.

Even though Liu Qing used living people to concoct medicine, death was a sin, but because of such a trivial matter, he was thrown into Qianshang Pond and died from the bitterness of insects. Ye Yunlan didn't understand.

Although Liu Qing is just a negligible running dog under the seat of the Demon Venerable, he is just a plaything in the hands of the Demon Venerable.

Liu Qing's death made him feel a bit sad.

He didn't use the life-returning pill, and the injury on his body couldn't be delayed any longer.

The Demon Lord hugged him back to the Demon Temple, passed through the curtains, and put him on the bed.

The lights in the hall were dim, and the Demon Venerable looked down at him, the ghost mask looked extremely evil and hideous.

He still couldn't see the look on the other side, and couldn't figure out the other side's thoughts.

After a long time, Mozun suddenly raised his sleeves and blew out the lights.

The surroundings became completely dark.

The mask was thrown on the ground with a crisp sound. Mozun stretched his hand into his clothes, covered his waist wound with his palm, and asked him coldly, "Does it hurt?"

The wound was just a skin trauma, and it was slightly scabbed. The real injury was actually inside the body, but he couldn't help frowning when he was touched in this way.

"It doesn't hurt," he said lowly.

Mo Zun was agitated by his indifferent tone, his hands were slightly harder, and he sneered: "What about now?"

He trembled for a moment, smelling a faint blood dispersing, and the cold fingertips of Demon Venerable touched the tender flesh under the scab of his wound.

pain.

He has realized that the devil's emotions are not right, but he also has anger in his heart, so he just turned his head and said in a more indifferent tone: "...it doesn't hurt."

For a moment, Demon Lord wanted to crush the person under him.

But in the end he only slowly took in his strength, took a deep breath, and said: "Someone went to the magic palace yesterday to assassinate, why don't you call me the first time?"

He said: "The man is dead."

"I'm asking you, why don't you call me?" Demon Lord said.

He just wanted to answer, he suddenly shuddered, and noticed that the bleeding wound had been licked by something warm and wet. It was numb and itchy, and his hands could not help but clenched the bed.

"I just don't think... it is necessary."

The two white jade rings on his ankle that imprison spiritual power have long been taken down by the demon, and the cultivation base has recovered a lot. He can still cope with the strength of that assassin.

What's more, yesterday, just passed the night of the full moon.

Every time the night of the full moon, the state of the demon is very wrong. After the night of the full moon, it will always disappear for a while. He thinks that the other party probably has no time to take care of these trivial matters.

"No need?" The Demon Venerable's lips were stained with blood, hidden in the darkness, his voice was cold and deep, "Heh, the immortal always said that he doesn't feel pain... Then when I come to help you heal, but Don't cry."

He didn't know how the Demon Venerable would heal him, he only felt the weight of the opponent weighed down, and there was a hot touch.

Mozun has superb tricks on people, and his body has long been soaked in the medicinal bath that he has been soaked over the years to be extremely sensitive. In the past, it would not be long before he softened into a pool of water for the other party to take and ask for, but today is different.

The Mozun sensed his resistance and coldness, and suddenly bit his shoulder, very hard.

The canine teeth grind again and again through the clothes, as if to take him apart and eat him, he said hoarsely: "What are you making awkward, huh?"

While speaking, a few cold and slippery things got tangled up.

He closed his eyes and said in a low voice: "Liu Qing..."

"Sure enough, you are angering me about what happened today." Demon Venerable said solemnly.

He frowned and endured the strange feeling wrapped around his body, "Liu Qing didn't make a big mistake..."

"But you don't know," Mozun sneered, "I let him end his life in Qianshang Lake, but it is actually kind to him."

He bit his lip and was forced to tears from the end of his eyes.

The Mozun's tone suddenly turned gentle, "Are you afraid that I will treat you like Liu Qing?" He no longer bit his shoulders, but squeezed his lips, like a hungry wolf dog, in a vicious and vicious manner. Hunting.

A faint smell of blood blended between his lips and teeth.

"But you are totally different."

"Xianchang, I said, as long as you live by me," Mozun exhales softly in his ear, "I will never do this to you."

He didn't believe it.

On the one hand, the world recognizes that the devil's temperament is perverse and unpredictable. On the other hand, since he was sent to the demon gate by Chen Weiyuan, his last point of trust in human nature has been lost.

The movement of the devil is still continuing.

He thought that the other party was just angry and wanted to play tricks on him, but he didn't expect the Demon Lord to really start to heal him.

He is the furnace tripod of Mozun. The top furnace tripod was developed after years of soaking the exquisite bones in the medicinal bath. Everyone in Momen regards him as Mozun forbidden. Everyone in Xianmen regards him as a traitor and scum. He has a bad reputation and an extremely humble status.

He always thought that Mozun loved him and cherished him because his body still had so little value in it.

But now, the Demon Venerable injected his cultivation base and spiritual power into his body during the blending, in order to heal his physical injuries.

But in this case, Demon Venerable has become his furnace ding instead.

He didn't expect that Demon Lord would use this method to heal him.

He was so hurt by the devil, his eyebrows were frowned, and tears couldn't stop streaming. The injury inside the body is getting better.

"You said you are not afraid of pain. But Xianchang, you have to remember it," Mozun embraced him, kissed the tears from the corner of his eye, and whispered in his ear, "Only I can hurt you in this world."

"No one can bypass me and touch you—unless I step on my body."

He had long disbelief in the promise of the world, and did not take the words of Demon Venerable to his heart at that time.

…However, Demon Lord did what he said.

He always remembered that even at the time when there was no retreat and hopeless survival, this person... still protected him well.

Ye Yunlan stopped.

"Your master Liu Qing, where are you now?" He asked Yuan Yongzhi.

Cold sweat oozes from Yuan Yongzhi's forehead. He wondered why Ye Yunlan asked this question, and said vaguely: "Master... Master made some minor mistakes in his old man's retreat, and he is recovering from his injuries."

Ye Yunlan had already guessed in his heart, and the tip of the sword pressed against Yuan Yongzhi's vest, "To be honest."

"You can't move me!" Yuan Yongzhi suddenly raised his voice, "My master was originally the elder of Yaofeng in the inner gate. Sect disciple, will also be severely punished!"

Ye Yunlan ignored the threats in his words and only said: "Liu Qing is not healing."

In the previous life, Liu Qing rebelled against Tianzong, think about it carefully, that’s what happened in the past few years.

Contacting Yuan Yongzhi's concealed attitude, Ye Yunlan suddenly turned sideways to the room that made the strange noise, and said lightly: "He has gotten into trouble. Was he the one who was locked up here?"

"How would you know?" Yuan Yongzhi was shocked. "The only thing that the disciples of Yaolu know about Master's derangement...Yes, did Shen Shu's wicked animal tell you?"

Ye Yunlan's eyes sank slightly when he heard the word "devil".

"I tell you to take care of your own mouth, don't be unruly, bark everywhere." Thinking of the purpose of his trip, he temporarily left the matter of Liu Qing behind, and sent the long sword forward, "Tell me, Shen Shu Where are they locked up?"

A little tingling came from the vest, which shocked Yuan Yong.

A strong black air floated in his eyes.

He slowly rolled his eyes and said, "Brother, it's because I have no good words. Brother, I'm afraid I don't know, that evil... Shen Shu's body is stained with evil and unknown things, which will affect the luck of practitioners. Over the past few years, medicine The disciples of Lu suffered a lot of hardships, and that is what he did. He was locked up here to face the punishment, and he deserved it."

A ball slipped from the sleeve of his shirt and was pinched by him in his palm, "So brother, I want to advise you, for Shen Shu, it's better to stay away... Otherwise, brother, I'm afraid he won't even die in the future. knowledge."

Yuan Yongzhi thought that he had said so. Ye Yunlan should hesitate. After all, the most taboo thing for a cultivator is that luck is affected. He didn't expect the other party to just have a cold voice and said, "Are you teaching me to do things?"

Yuan Yong choked, suddenly heard a sound of broken porcelain from a distance, and then saw Ye Yunlan pass him, walked quickly to the end of the rock wall, and stepped into a cell.

It was the cell that held Shen Shu.

Suddenly, Yuan Yongzhi heard the sound of long swords colliding, and his heart burst, and he followed him, and found that the door of the cell was opened wide.

The setting sun had already flowed into the western mountains, and in the dim light, the scene inside surprised him.

The floor was full of fragments of medicine bowls, his junior brother Xu Ze lay on the ground and knew nothing about personnel.

But Ye Yunlan held the beast in his arms.

The beast was covered with blood, his clothes were torn by a whip, a chain was hung on his thin wrist, and he was resting on Ye Yunlan's shoulder, with long hair hanging down, revealing his pale cheeks.

It looked a bit pitiful.

When Ye Yunlan first came in, he saw Shen Shu crouching in the corner in the dimness, and a disciple was about to strike Shen Shu with his sword.

Before he thought about it, he took out a sword to rescue Shen Shu.

When Shen Shu saw him coming, he stood up swayingly, fell into his arms, holding his shirt, his body trembled, and whispered to him: "Xianjun."

It's like a scared little animal.

The blood wetted his white clothes. He held the bruised boy in his arms, his heart ached slightly, and said, "Tell me, what happened? Who did your injuries?"

The person he saved his life was just not put in front of him for a while before he was wounded like this again.

Shen Shu said hoarsely: "It was Brother Yuan who locked me here and beat me with a whip, saying that it was punishing me to go out privately... Senior Brother Xu wanted me to take medicine, and if I refused, he would kill me."

Ye Yunlan heard this, and suddenly turned to look at Yuan Yongzhi, and said coldly: "That's what you said, Shen Shu is only punished here? Instead of you using torture privately and murdering your colleagues?"

Murdering the same sect is a great crime in Tianzong.

Why didn't Yuan Yongzhi believe it, and subconsciously said: "Impossible! I used a whip to teach him not to be fake, but Junior Brother Xu has been waiting for this animal to test the medicine for several days. That is a chain made of profound iron, even if it is chopped with a sword, it cannot be broken in a short while—"

"Testing the drug?" Ye Yunlan caught a word in his words, and Shen Yu didn't worry more, "You...force Shen Shu to test the drug?"

Trying medicine with a living person, like refining medicine with a living person, is a taboo of Taoism.

Liu Qing committed similar things but was only demoted to the outside because the "returning pill" he practiced had something to do with many elders in the sect. If it were Yuan Yongzhi, he would not be so lucky.

Yuan Yongzhi's expression changed.

He finally took the position of the chief of the medicine house, his buttocks were not hot yet, and this matter must not be let outsiders know—!

Seeing Shen Shu raising his head from Ye Yunlan's shoulders to look at him again, his eyes were sly and dark, and a little teasing and mockery were vaguely revealed.

"The chain on my body... was cut off by Senior Brother Xu," his voice was still weak, "Senior Brother Xu said, killing me is too cheap, or it's more fun to play with cats and mice..."

How could Xu Ze say such a thing!

Yuan Yongzhi suddenly realized that the pitiful appearance of this beast was all pretending, but it was just to put on blame!

His heart was agitated.

This beast, obviously already controlled by him, dare to play this hand with him—!

The cat plays the mouse, who is the cat and who is the mouse?

Yuan Yongzhi looked at Xu Ze lying on the ground, completely sinking his face, raging emotions surged in his heart, making him almost lose his ability to judge.

He thought, since the matter of the living person trying the medicine has been exposed, there is no need to conceal the matter of Shen Shu. As long as Ye Yunlanlan can be kept here forever-then no one will know what happened in the medicine house. matter!

The black energy in Yuan Yongzhi's eyes surged, and he no longer hesitated, pour the whole body's spiritual energy into the ball in his hand.

Ye Yunlan realized that the body of the young man in his arms suddenly became stiff, and then he trembled slightly.

Shen Shu said hoarsely: "Xianjun...Go..."

As he said, he stretched out his hand to push him away, staggered back, and drew himself into a dark corner.

A gust of mountain breeze blew by, and it was very cold.

This is the extremely gloomy place in the mountains. At this time, the surrounding Yin Qi is gathering frantically in this house. Not only the yin qi, but also the ghost qi and evil qi left by the creatures who died in this valley began to spread here.

The bright moon in the sky was covered by dark clouds, and Yuan Yongzhi's face was crazy.

"Yes, that's it...Shen Shu, Master has raised you for such a long time, and now it's your turn to serve our teacher."

"What did you do to him?" Ye Yunlan's eyebrows were cold, and he raised his sword to point at Yuan Yongzhi.

The meaning of endless death and extinction spread, Yuan Yongzhi was sweating in cold sweat, could not help but clenched the faint green bead in his hand, and shouted: "Take him for me!"

An attack suddenly struck from the side, and Ye Yunlan sideways avoided a blow. As his sleeves flew, he saw Shen Shu's face.

Those eyes had lost all their brilliance, they were hollow and cold, and they were holding the long sword Xu Ze dropped to the ground.

Shen Shu's state is obviously abnormal.

Ye Yunlan was able to perceive the living things around, but Shen Shu at this time was completely different from usual in his perception.

If you really want to say...Shen Shu doesn't seem to be a living person at all at this moment.

Ye Yunlan was observing.

In the dim environment, his eyesight is lacking, but the special breath is like a ghost. The long sword comes with a gloomy ghost. The speed is extremely fast and it is impossible to prevent. It is just that the attacks are disorderly and there is no set of formed swordsmanship.

Ye Yunlan dodged a sword sideways, and a few black hairs slowly fell in the air.

He condensed his eyebrows slightly, trying to look at it, his vision became more blurred.

He didn't want to hurt the opponent, he was a little tied when he shot, and he didn't have any cultivation skills, and he was gradually tired of parrying.

Yuan Yongzhi could not help but be overjoyed.

It stands to reason that Shen Shu's strength should be more than that after the secret technique was launched, but Yuan Yongzhi was already so excited that he could not think at all—the pleasure of holding a powerful evil in his hands was so great, and what made him even more excited was that After taking down the person in front of him, how he will ravage and play with each other's reveries.

Fear makes desire grow wilder.

When this person just put the sword on his neck, did he ever think that the person he tried so hard to see would take him down and send it to his hand?

Yuan Yongzhi could only feel the excitement and rapid flow of the spiritual energy all over his body, full of swelling in the meridians, making his body light and fluttering, his heart beating rapidly, and even reverberating in his ears.

Countless colorful and treacherous illusions emerged in his mind, as if he had already climbed the clouds, and everything he had imagined was within reach.

Suddenly, in the dim space, a dim sword light flashed across, and Shen Shu's long sword was picked up and fell to the ground with a "clang" sound.

And he fell to the ground, motionless.

The change came so fast, Yuan Yongzhi's dream seemed to have been pierced by this sword light, he returned to reality, feeling an unbearable emptiness.

The full-bodied spiritual power rushed wildly in the meridians, and the light and fluttering feeling disappeared, and replaced by the pain of rupture of the meridians.

Reiki is retrograde, ecstatic.

Yuan Yongzhi opened his eyes wide in horror, but couldn't control the blood pouring from his mouth.

He couldn't figure out why he suddenly became confused.

What’s even more difficult to understand is why Shen Shu suddenly fell—the secret technique was activated, and the filthy air accumulated in the Medicine Room for many years has been absorbed by Shen Shu. No matter how strong Shen Shu is, he will also have the Nascent Soul Stage, and, unless he can Resolve the filthy air on Shen Shu, no one can hurt him.

Ye Yunlan didn't care about Yuan Yongzhi, but hurried forward to check Shen Shu's condition.

With that sword just now, he just picked Shen Shu's sword flying, and didn't hurt Shen Shu.

Shen Shu fell by himself.

In the dim light, he saw a large swath of blood under Shen Shu fainting.

When he hugged Shen Shu, he only saw blood stains on the other party’s clothes, and now he looked carefully and found that there was a wound on Shen Shu’s abdomen that was pierced by a long sword, and viscous blood was constantly pouring out of the wound. .

Was it hurt by that disciple just now?

Ye Yunlan frowned, didn't think about whether Shen Shu would attack again, but just helped him up.

Such wounds must be bandaged immediately, otherwise Shen Shu has lost too much blood and his life is worrying.

He untied Shen Shu's clothes and tore a piece of material to bandage the wound on his abdomen.

The boy was pale and thin, with a lot of welts and old wounds on his body. Ye Yunlan looked at him, his brows frowned and tightened.

He asked Shen Shu to lean on his shoulders, wrap his hands behind the opponent, and tie a knot with the clothes that bound the wound. Turning his face to the side, he saw Shen Shu's long hair falling down to his cheeks, and the back of his pale and slender neck revealed a sly mark.

Ye Yunlan saw the mark clearly, his eyes drenched.

At the same time, there was a sound of heavy objects falling to the side.

It was Yuan Yongzhi who fell to the ground.

A faint green ball rolled out of his hand, and it rolled to Ye Yunlan's feet.

Ye Yunlan picked up the ball.

Starting from the cold, Ye Yunlan has recognized that this thing is a soul refining pearl before he can penetrate his spiritual power into it.

And the puppet seal he saw just now, Shen Shu's identity is already self-evident.

Shen Shu is a demon puppet trained by the method of sacrifice and refining by living people.

Refining magic puppets was originally an evil magic method in the magic gate. The puppet figure was created by the treasures of heaven and earth, and then engraved with forbidden magic methods to create weapons to help the master fight.

However, the demon puppets refined in this way have no spirituality and can only be regarded as artifacts, and their strength is limited by the level of heaven, material and earth treasure, generally not too high, and the things they can do are very limited.

Thousands of years ago, the Soul Refining Sect invented the technique of refining living people.

This technique is not secretly spread, and the outside world only knows that one of the steps of this technique is to torture a living person with extremely high talents for hundreds of days in pain and despair, endure endless grievances and die, and then impose a forbidden technique to destroy the three souls. Seven souls are locked in the corpse for refining.

The demon puppet refined in this way has spirituality. As long as it can absorb enough filthy air, it can increase its strength infinitely until the upper limit that the demon puppet itself can carry, but it will not have the shackles like a human.

The magic puppets refined by living people are divided into three classes: heaven, earth and human.

The more powerful the living person's root aptitude is selected, the deeper the grievances carried during the refining, and the higher the rank of the demon puppet.

It is the lowest-level human-level demon puppet, whose cultivation base can reach the stage of transforming gods that can be called a great power.

Demon puppets are not living creatures, they will never die, and they will completely obey the master's orders. Therefore, the magic puppet was once a very popular tool in the magic door, and every magic puppet shot by the soul refining sect can be sold at a high price.

It's just that the probability of a successful demon puppet refining is also terribly low, and sometimes among tens of thousands of people, it may not be possible to refine it.

In the previous life, after the self-refining soul sect was destroyed by the demon, this refining method was lost forever.

"Give my things...return me..."

Yuan Yongzhi, who fell to the ground, suddenly struggled to speak, his face twisted and hideous.

Ye Yunlan said coldly: "Does anyone know about the sect, you colluded with the demon sect privately to refine the demon puppet?"

Yuan Yongzhi was startled suddenly, his head was slightly awake.

The demon puppet is the most outstanding weapon in the world, but after all, it is the thing of the demon gate.

It is a taboo for a person in the Immortal Dao to contact the demon sect. If he is found, it is not as simple as being expelled from the sect.

Yuan Yongzhi's expression turned pale and pale, and suddenly changed his words: "These things were done by the old fellow Liu Qing alone, and have nothing to do with our Yaolu disciples... My two brothers were caught by Liu Qing because of this. Killing, brother, I really didn't lie to you this time!"

"You said you didn't know it?"

The method of refining living beings is unique to the Soul Refining Sect.

Although Liu Qing would defect from the sect to join the Soul Refining Sect in the future, he is still a member of the Heavenly Sect.

If so, the magic door's hands would be too long.

At this moment, Ye Yunlan heard another stern roar from the outside world.

Liu Qing will never pretend to be a fan.

The blood on Shen Shu's wound oozes from the bandaged clothes, and Ye Yunlan doesn't want to think about these trivial matters anymore.

He took out the sound transmission spirit jade He Lanze gave him, briefly explained the matter here, and said indifferently: "I have notified the law enforcement disciples to come, if there is anything that needs to be explained, you go and talk to the people in the law enforcement hall. Bar."

Yuan Yongzhi said in horror: "No—!"

Ye Yunlan stopped listening, only looking at the bright red blood on Shen Shu's wound.

A demon puppet refined by the method of refining by a living person will have its blood completely turned black, lose its body temperature and heartbeat, and is not considered a living person.

Shen Shu's blood is bright red, and it should be just a semi-finished product.

His refining process is not perfect, which means that he is still a person.

He gently wiped the blood from Shen Shu's cheeks with his fingertips, and his spiritual consciousness penetrated into the bead.

Inside the round bead is a dark space, and the space is full of interlaced chains, with a small figure wrapped around the chain in the center.

It is Shen Shu.

Shen Shu is much younger than he is now.

This should be the part of Shen Shu that was forcibly pulled out by the refiner before the refining method of the living person began.

The soul looked only six or seven years old, with a pale little face and hollow eyes, like a lifeless puppet.

If possible, Ye Yunlan now wants to destroy the Soul Refining Orb and unlock the restriction.

Just doing this would destroy the soul refining orb and this part of Shen Shu's soul together.

So far, the refining method of living beings is venomous. Even if the refining has not been completed, Shen Shu's life is connected with this soul refining orb, which means that it is difficult for him to escape the control of others in this life.

He held the Soul Refining Orb in his palm, and slowly rubbed his fingertips on it.

He was thinking.

Suddenly he felt the unconscious teenager move in his arms.

When he looked down, he saw Shen Shu's eyelashes trembling and slowly opened his eyes.

At the moment when he saw Ye Yunlan, a bright light appeared in Shen Shu's eyes, but immediately, he noticed the dark green bead in Ye Yunlan's hand. The dark pupils contracted. He instinctively reached out to grab the bead, but was avoided by Ye Yunlan. open.

Shen Shu's eyes darkened, he suddenly tilted his head and asked: "Xianjun...Do you even want to use me?"

use.

Shen Shu used the word very naturally, but Ye Yunlan frowned subconsciously, reached out his hand to touch Shen Shu’s head, and softly explained: "Your soul is connected with the soul refining orb. If you destroy it, you will suffer severe injuries, even die."

Shen Shu tilted his head and looked at him, "Is that really the case?"

The boy's tone was very light, he didn't seem to believe it very much, but he really stopped trying to **** the bead. He just raised his head and rubbed his hand, a slight smile appeared on his pale face, and he said dumbly: "Xianjun again Saved me once... I'm so happy."

Seeing him like this, Ye Yunlan didn't know what to do, and suddenly remembered the first time he had met with the other party, and the other party stubbornly asked how to repay him.

—Xianjun, tell me, what do you want?

-what can you give me?

-all. I can give Xianjun everything.

—Including your life?

—Including my life.

The Soul Refining Orb in his hand suddenly became very heavy.

Shen Shu's injury should not be moved violently. It will take time for the people from the Law Enforcement Hall to come over. Ye Yunlan was afraid that Shen Shu would pass out again. He was silent for a while, and said, "Shen Shu, tell me about your past."

"What happened to me before?"

"You met what happened to me before. Tell me about your former relatives and friends."

Shen Shu said, "I...have no relatives or friends. I used to...maybe, but I have forgotten them. I only remember that night many years ago...There was a lot of blood, blood in the sky, and everyone died. "

Ye Yunlan didn't ask him which night it was, but just listened quietly.

"I was taken to the mountains, where... there are many people my age. We are locked in a large wooden shed, and every once in a while... someone will be taken away."

"The people who were taken away... none of them came back."

"One day, they took me to a cave. The cave was... all bones and snakes. They broke my limbs, dug up my abdominal cavity, put beads... in it, and let the snakes crawl on me." As Shen Shu said, he suddenly grabbed his lapels, "It hurts me so much, Xianjun."

Ye Yunlan hugged him and whispered softly: "It doesn't hurt anymore, it's all over."

Shen Shu snuggled in Ye Yunlan's arms, sniffing the light and gentle fragrance of this person, and gave a low "um".

He paused, and a gloomy color flashed across his eyes, before continuing: "It was Liu Qing... who saved me. He secretly took me and the ball out of the cave."

"In the beginning...I was very grateful, but then I found out that he didn't treat me as a human being, but as a...beast he raised."

"He took me back to Tianzong. At first... fearing that I would hurt people, he tied me with a chain. Later, after I learned to behave, he let me go."

Ye Yunlan listened quietly to Shen Shu's words, and gently stroked Shen Shu's back with gentle force.

"For so many years, everyone in the medicine room has treated me as a beast, only Xianjun..." Shen Shu rubbed his cheek on him, "...only Xianjun is willing to treat me as a human being. So...I want to stay. By Xianjun."

Ye Yunlan's long eyelashes trembled slightly.

"I haven't been able to pick Jinling flowers for Xianjun, Xianjun...can you reward me in advance?" Shen Shu said in a low voice, "Take me back, okay?"

Ye Yunlan was silent for a while, and understood what Shen Shu meant.

Shen Shu wanted him to take him back with him, and then... stay by his side for a long time.

The boy's request was so straightforward, his body was covered with bruises, but he still remembered the flower that he had promised to fold for him.

It's just that from his previous life to the present, he has lived alone for decades.

I have long forgotten what it feels like to have someone by my side.

There is no company in this world forever, and everyone will leave in the end.

He once told Shen Shu this way, and at the same time he kept admonishing himself like this.

He had already determined to live this life peacefully by himself.

only.

He hugged Shen Shu and saw the old mottled wounds and winding bloodstains on the boy's body.

Some strands of the other party's soft hair rubbed against the neck, slightly itching.

Shen Shu was lonely when he was young, and his relatives were lost.

The disciples of Yaolu treated him like a tool and treated him like an animal. Although they have the same door, they have no friends. They even stumbled when communicating with him because they hadn't spoken for a long time.

He should have died in the fire in the secret realm, but was saved by him.

Shen Shu lives because of him.

Even though he suffered hardship, he was still clean and pure, always obsessed with repaying him.

Even the Soul Refining Orb, which could control the life of his own soul, was handed over to him.

Ye Yunlan didn't intend to leave any fetters and concerns in the world.

But if it was Shen Shu.

If it's just Shen Shu...

He closed his eyes and took out the blood-stained Jin Ling flower from his arms.

"The Jin Linghua you picked for me, I have received it."

Shen Shu's eyes widened slightly.

"I said I would give you a reward." Ye Yunlan lowered his head and looked at Shen Shuchun's bright black eyes. What was reflected in it was his shadow.

The other party looked up at him so wholeheartedly and expectantly.

He thought that he should respond to this expectation.

So he continued: "...The reward is, after you get well, I will accept you as a disciple."

The people from the law enforcement hall arrived quickly.

He Lanze led dozens of law enforcement disciples blasted open the gate of the Medicine House, and then straightly followed the direction pointed by Ye Yunlan to the valley in the mountain.

His face was extremely cold, and his heart was full of worry and depression, but when he saw the blood on Ye Yunlan's body,
