Star Sword Shoes [Rebirth]
Chapter 40
Through the light smoke, Su Yichen saw a boy with short hair, the ends of his hair quietly hanging on his shoulders, if he tied two more buns, he would look like an innocent kid.
This young man is very good-looking, with bright eyes and white teeth, looking forward to brilliance. After seeing Su Yichen, there was a little curiosity in his bright eyes. He looked carefully and said, "Who are you?"
"He is my boss, Wen Liang from Bailin City." Li Changan volunteered and said, "Boss, this is the old man Echo."
If Lezheng Changfeng and Xie Fengqi heard these words, they would be greatly puzzled, but Su Yichen didn't see the strangeness, and stretched out his hand to make a bow, "I have long admired your name."
The interest in the boy's eyes grew stronger, "Aren't you surprised to see me?"
"The demons are like gods but not humans. They are born with a long life span, but they just keep their appearance like a teenager. What's so surprising?" Su Yichen asked back with a smile.
The young man walked through the smoke and walked in front of Su Yichen, raised his eyes and looked straight at him, with a smile that was not a smile at the corner of his mouth, "What a keen intuition."
Li Changan was already dumbfounded, "Boss, you say he, he is a demon?"
Su Yichen turned his head and glanced at him, vaguely thinking that Li Changan should not be allowed to do any dangerous things in the future. With his insensitivity, it was very likely that he would be tied up and help count the money.
"By the way, how did you find this place?"
When Li Changan heard it, he had a smug expression, "I smelled the Qionghua fruit. I came here to dig the ground for a while, and then I was pulled in by the old man Echo."
"The house is about to be demolished by you." Old Echo gave him a white look.
"Qinghuaguo...?" Su Yichen pondered in a low voice.Nine times before, Deng led people to find Qionghuaguo in Xiaofeilin. Could it be that they came to Echo Valley not to find old man Echo?
The owner here obviously didn't pay attention to what Su Yichen was thinking, went to the table and sat down, poured a cup of tea for him, "Then, why did you break into Echo Valley?"
"Senior Echo is famous for being knowledgeable and knowledgeable. Of course, this junior is here to ask for advice."
The young man smiled politely, completely different from the old man disguised by the nine-time lamp before, but his attitude was unexpectedly the same, "Why should I answer your question?"
The corner of Su Yichen's mouth lightly raised, "It's really wrong to bother senior. I don't know how senior is willing to give advice. If there is anything junior can help, please ask."
The young man took a sip of tea and said leisurely, "I don't have to worry about food and clothing here, and I don't have anything to tell you."
His tone was gentle, and he sounded very friendly, but his eyes showed a clear rejection.
Su Yichen also held up his teacup and sipped slowly. After drinking a cup of tea, he already had an idea in his mind.
He glanced at the surrounding world reflected in the half-opened pane, and slowly said to the old man Echo: "If senior is willing to clear up my doubts for me, I am willing to take senior to leave this Echo Valley."
The teacup in Old Echo's hand dropped to the table with a "bang", and the sudden sound made Li Chang'an, who was watching at the door, turn his head involuntarily.He took a deep breath quietly, and smiled at Su Yichen, "I live here well, why should I leave?"
Su Yichen blinked his apricot eyes, with an innocent expression on his face: "I think, senior is probably not staying here voluntarily, but unable to leave, right?"
The boy's face had always been full of leisure beyond his age, but at this moment he finally calmed down, and the inquiry in his eyes deepened.He neither admitted nor denied, just raised his eyebrows and stared at Su Yichen silently.
Su Yichen asked for others, and he didn't show off, so he said, "I heard that the senior once worshiped under the Zhuqi altar. Although I don't know what method he used, but the demons are practicing in the blessed land of the fairy mountain, let alone their skill is advanced. Well, just resisting the attack of the immortal family's true energy is enough. So, senior, you left Zhu Qitan, it shouldn't be for some shocking reason, but you just couldn't stay longer? You came to this Echo Valley, wanting to borrow a place to recuperate , but I don’t know who has poisoned you so that you can’t leave here.”
The young man listened to him in silence, the expression on his face did not change, he just asked indifferently, "What poison have I been poisoned?"
Su Yichen flicked his left hand, and gently sniffed the smell of incense sticks, "The three-color hibiscus in the devil world, the flowers are divided into purple, white and yellow. Inhaling a little will cause hallucinations, making people be manipulated by the three emotions of anger, sorrow and fear. This The toxicity is already very strong, but I have also heard that the tricolor hibiscus is a catalyst for another strange poison of the demons, and to alleviate that poison, it seems that one needs to light a kind of incense stick made of nanmu powder."
The young man looked at Su Yichen with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"These are all speculations of the juniors. If the guesses are wrong, the seniors will take me as a joke. Don't make mistakes." He stood up as he said, and made a gesture to walk out the door.
"Wait." Old Echo called him, paused for a while, and then continued, "Do you really have a way to take me out?"
From Li Changan's position, he could see Su Yichen turned his back on Old Echo, and let out a soft sigh of relief.
"The three-color hibiscus in the demon world is more effective against monsters, but ordinary people will be poisoned and go crazy if they smell it." The young man narrowed his eyes and said, "The group of demons are familiar with this flower, maybe they came prepared, but you are How did you get in?"
Su Yichen turned his head away and smiled, "Don't worry senior, this poison won't work on me. When I send you out of the valley, I will definitely pull out every flower."
Purple hibiscus makes people fear, yellow hibiscus makes people angry, and white hibiscus makes people sad.Everyone has these emotions, so the three-color hibiscus is avoided in the three realms, and the ordinary young man in front of him is not afraid?The boy's eyes widened for a moment, and then he lowered his eyelids quickly to suppress the shock in his heart.

Since the old man echo accepted Su Yichen's conditions, he agreed to answer a question for him.
Lezheng Changfeng was away, Su Yichen didn't intend to ask about Qionglongtian Cangyu, so he didn't shy away from Li Changan, and said bluntly, "Recently, the demons have committed several bloody crimes among people, poaching the victim's left eyeball and Heart, senior, do you know that this is just a simple killing, or is it related to some demonic sorcery?"
When he mentioned the eyeballs, the old man Echo's face changed almost inaudibly, and then he asked, "How many people did you kill?"
"So far, there have been three. I also saw the murderer assassinate the fourth person, but it was unsuccessful."
The old man echo raised his left hand, counted with his fingers, and then asked, "Has there been similar murders in recent years?"
As soon as these words came out, Li Changan was stunned, "Yes, yes, I have heard that there were monsters who killed people with the same method seven years ago, and seven of them died at that time."
"Hehe, hehehehehe," the old man Echo suddenly laughed, his voice was sinister, and it was very discordant on his young face, "Huo Xing Nether Formation, they actually want to open Huo Xing Nether Formation!"
Su Yichen had heard a lot of anecdotes about the demon world from Gan Ye, but this was the first time he had heard of the term Huoxing Netherworld Formation, so he looked at the boy with a puzzled expression.
The young man looked up at the square inch of sky outside the window, and said slowly, "The souls of demons are different from fragile human beings. They are rarely beaten to death, and more often they are just sealed. And the confused stars among the seven stars in the northern sky, There will be a transit every 370 years. When the eccentric star transits the sun, if you sacrifice the seven eyeballs to activate the formation, if you succeed, you will be able to awaken the soul of the sealed demon race. The stronger the original owner of the eyeballs, the greater the chance of success. "
"The star transiting the sun..." Li Changan tilted his head and thought for a while, "It seems to have appeared seven years ago?"
"The Huo Xing is a double star, and the transits of the two sub-stars are separated by seven years, and the second Huo Xing transits the most demonic. Congratulations, this year is the 370-year Huo Xing transit, and the demons will definitely find ways to activate the magic circle, so , four more people should have been killed."
When the old man Echo spoke, his tone was neither high nor low, as if he was just talking about family affairs, but Li Changan's mouth opened wide when he heard it, and even Su Yichen felt a chill in his heart.
So, seven years ago, Ganye killed people for the purpose of launching the Nether Formation?
"But, seven years ago, Xianmen didn't seem to notice any great demon awakened from the seal." He asked the young man.
"Then it must have failed." The young man laughed, "Maybe it's because the sacrifice is not cultivated enough, or maybe the container isn't well prepared."
"container?"
"It's not enough to just wake up the soul, there must be a container to carry it?" The young man looked at Su Yichen and said unhurriedly, "Although the Huanxing Nether Array is used to awaken the demons, for thousands of years, the container has only been used Human beings can succeed. The more the body can withstand the breath of the devil, the easier it will be for the demons to use it."
"Qingyu Su Yichen!" Li Changan suddenly called out, "Could this be the reason why the demons went looking for Su Yichen's body?"
Of course, Su Yichen also thought of this, and looked at Li Changan with a solemn expression.
After he was expelled from Qingyu Mountain, he has been hunted down by the demons, and he was very puzzled at first.His lute bone has been pierced by his senior brother, and his cultivation base has been completely destroyed, and the demons have not enmity with him, why they always bite him.Now it seems that what they want is that body?
Then, after his death, the bones disappeared from Pingdu Mountain, and were dug out by the demons from the Xuanzhaoxi forbidden area not long ago, are they all related to this matter?
"Boss, what's wrong with you?" Li Changan asked worriedly when he saw that Su Yichen's face turned pale.
Su Yichen didn't speak, but shook his head, looking thoughtfully at the old man Echo.
He was thinking whether he should believe the boy's words.
If what he said is true, then Ganye came to the world seven years ago to collect materials for the Huoxing Nether Formation, and even his encounter with himself may not have been accidental.But Su Yichen always remembered Ganye's firm expression of saying "no" to him, and until now, he still believed in his friend.
This young man is very good-looking, with bright eyes and white teeth, looking forward to brilliance. After seeing Su Yichen, there was a little curiosity in his bright eyes. He looked carefully and said, "Who are you?"
"He is my boss, Wen Liang from Bailin City." Li Changan volunteered and said, "Boss, this is the old man Echo."
