Shen Li hesitated for a moment, then leaned slightly while still stepping on Qin Muzhi's chest: "Okay, tell me what secret he has, and I will spare your life."

Qin Muzhi looked at him calmly: "You don't believe me?"

"Why don't I believe you, didn't I ask you to tell me?" Shen Li tilted his head, and glanced at the scar on Qin Muzhi's chest from the corner of his eye.

It's just that in the blink of an eye, the wound no longer bleeds, and it even healed quickly.

No wonder this person is so confident, he didn't hurt this person's body at all.

Shen Li clicked his tongue, straightened up and let him go: "It's fine now, tell me, what do you want to tell me?"

Qin Muzhi stood up, and the wounds on his body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. Only his robe was soaked in a large amount of blood and turned dark. Coupled with the spots of blood on the white jade steps, it looked shocking.

Qin Muzhi patted the dusty hem of his clothes nonchalantly, and said unhurriedly: "You and that Taoist Jiyun... oh no, he should be called Qi Changzhao now, you guys are really interesting, more than I imagined... ...more interesting."

"What do you mean by that?"

"I have never felt such strong contradictions, fear, despair, and madness in one person... It should be said that he may be worse than you."

Shen Li frowned: "What exactly do you want to say?"

Qin Muzhi didn't answer, he stared closely at Shen Li, as if he wanted to read something more from his face.

Shen Li looked at him calmly, and after a while, Qin Muzhi seemed to see something very interesting again, he showed a playful smile, and said as if whispering: "I suddenly feel a little regretful about telling you this, Because if I don't say it, it seems that more interesting results will emerge."

"...I really want to see with my own eyes what you look like when you learn all the truth, what will happen to you then?"

"It also depends on whether you have the life to live until then." Shen Li said leisurely, walked to the side of Baiyu's bed, and lowered her head to stare at the sleeping young woman.

"...Since you haven't decided whether to tell me the matter, you might as well listen to me first."

"The ancient tribes built this altar in the underground palace and sacrificed young women to gods. This is really absurd and sad story. But are they really gods? Have you forgotten why Qi Changzhao and I came here? "Shen Li said, "Qi Changzhao found out that a magic weapon was suppressed in this spirit vein, but why did we travel all the way, even when we reached the center of the altar, we still didn't even see any shadow of the magic weapon?"

Shen Li tilted his head to look at Qin Muzhi, and said softly: "It's not that the magic weapon doesn't exist, it has already appeared in front of us in another form, but we can't recognize it. Right?"

Qin Muzhi's expression froze, and he didn't answer.

Seeing his reaction, Shen Li knew that he had guessed right, he sneered, and calmly said: "If I'm right, the so-called sacrifice to the gods is just a cover, their real purpose should be to use the young woman's spirit The blood feeds the magic weapon suppressed under this altar. Am I right, little weapon spirit?"

Qin Muzhi's face changed completely: "How could you possibly see—"

"Admit it so quickly?" Shen Li said, "Just outside, I felt strange when Guangyangzi said that the black shadow might be a mirage. Although I have never heard of this kind of monster before, I have practiced demons anyway. You have been in close contact with it, and you don't have any demonic breath on your body. Besides, you have a very pure spiritual power fluctuation, and I am more sure that you are not a demon."

"...But when I said you were a low-level monster, you didn't refute it."

Qin Muzhi was about to say something, but was interrupted by Shen Li: "Don't worry, I haven't finished yet."

"One thing you didn't lie to me is that you can indeed find out the secrets of all the people who enter this place. After Qi Changzhao and I entered, we saw inscriptions about this place in the outer stone cave. You heard our deduction , along the way, half-truthfully told me a story about a saintess offering sacrifices to a god. But in fact, there is no guardian god here at all, and the so-called god in the stone carving refers to you."

Qin Muzhi lowered his eyes and said coldly, "You have no evidence at all."

"I really don't have any proof, so..." Shen Li straightened up, a faint light lighted up on the tip of his right finger, "Let this girl tell us the truth of the matter."

After his words fell, Qin Muzhi realized what he wanted to do, and rushed towards him quickly: "Don't touch her!"

But it was still a step too late, Shen Li raised his hand and tapped lightly between the woman's eyebrows, a warm light fell into the woman's forehead, and the dazzling light immediately enveloped the entire altar.

The brilliance dissipated, and a young woman was sitting beside the stone steps. She was dressed meticulously in a bright red wedding dress, and a string of silver bells around her waist jingled as she shook her legs.Her eyes were fixed on the entrance of the altar in the distance, her eyes were shining, but it was a pity that the stone door was always closed tightly, and she did not move at all.

"No one will come." A male voice sounded in the silence, the woman was startled, and the silver bell stopped suddenly.

The woman looked around in fear, and asked in a low voice, "Who is talking?"

The voice did not answer her question, but calmly said: "There is a war outside, and your people have suffered heavy casualties. They have sealed off the entrance of this cave, and no one will come in."

"How do you know?"

The male voice paused for a moment: "...I just know."

Silence spread in the altar, and after a while, the male voice said again: "You kill yourself, you are going to die anyway, and if you wait any longer, you will only die."

"No." The woman shook her head, with a bit of shyness on her face when she spoke, "Let me tell you a secret, I... I have a promise with someone, he will come here to rescue me, I will not die of."

The male voice snorted inexplicably and said nothing.

The surrounding light and shadow changed, and I don't know how long it has passed, the wedding dress on the woman's body has dimmed, but her face is still as bright and energetic as before.

"Mr. Ghost, are you here today?" The woman sat beside the white jade bed and whispered.

In the void, the male voice sounded again: "...I am not called a ghost."

"But you won't tell me your name." The woman frowned, not minding the other party's indifference at all, "Mr. Ghost, it's so boring, let's chat."

"What do you want to talk about?"

"If you could go out someday, what would you like to do?"

The voice was silent for a long time, and when the woman wanted to ask again, he said softly: "We can't get out, so there is no need to make such an assumption."

The woman let out an "oh" in frustration, her eyes dimmed: "I'm just assuming..."

The male voice said: "Why bother, it has been so long, it is impossible for someone to come. If you are not willing to die, you will be like me, trapped here for eternity and cannot be freed."

"... Only then will you understand how lucky it is to be able to choose to let yourself die."

"But, if you die, don't you lose everything?" The woman curled up on the white jade bed, the faint blue fire reflected on her side face, making her look even paler.She lowered her head and buried her head in the shadows, her slender shoulders trembling imperceptibly.

After a long while, a soft, weeping murmur came from the silent altar: "Mr. Ghost, I don't want to die. Let me accompany you, at least with the two of us, you won't be so lonely. "

She didn't see it, but suddenly the silver bell around her waist trembled slightly, and a vague white shadow appeared behind her.

"I tell you to stop!"

A strong palm wind hit, Shen Li had no choice but to cut off the transmission of spiritual power, and raised his hand to receive the blow.

The billowing spiritual power swayed in the center of the altar, and Shen Li took half a step back.The chain of warm light formed by spiritual power disappeared, and the phantom in front of the two of them was like floating sand, slowly blowing away in the dark void.

Even if Shen Li doesn't know how to read minds, he can still see that the person in front of him is in a turbulent state of mind.His face was extremely pale, his teeth were clenched, but his lips were trembling unconsciously.

Shen Li lowered his eyes and sighed softly as if regretting.

The other party didn't see it, and his fingers casually rubbed the neck, and the golden pendant hidden under the collar stopped trembling under his comfort.

Shen Li asked nonchalantly, "Why don't you let me finish watching? Afraid I'll see your real body?"

Hearing what he said, the person in front of him raised his head, with a savage smile on the corner of his mouth: "Of course not, so what if you saw it?"

"If you want to know, I can tell you the whole truth right now." In just this moment, he had completely calmed down.

He looked at Shen Li calmly, and said leisurely: "My body is an ancient fairy stone, which was obtained by this ancient tribe and refined into a magic weapon called the concentric bell. They suppressed the concentric bell here, and used magic Take the woman's essence and blood to irrigate, so as to nourish the spirit."

"How many years have this underground palace been built, and how many years have I been imprisoned here. I have bathed in the blood and soul of countless saints, and I have cultivated to this point."

"This place is full of spiritual energy, which can be used by ordinary people to live without drinking or eating. It is a pity that living in such a place where the sun is out of sight is actually purgatory." Qi Ling's gaze fell on the corpse on the white jade bed, with a smile on his face. With a touch of sarcasm, "Look, didn't she just hold on?"

Shen Li followed his gaze and looked over.

The woman with bright eyes and good looks in the illusion just now lay quietly on this white jade bed, even though her face was still rosy, she could no longer see her fresh and lively appearance.

The spiritual power here is enough for people to live without food or drink, so how did this woman choose to take this step?

Shen Xin felt as if a boulder had weighed on his head. He took a deep breath and said softly, "No matter what the past is, everything is in the past. If you want, I can take you out of here."

"Leave?" Qi Ling smiled, "Of course I will leave, so, didn't I bring you here?"

"I have practiced here for hundreds of years, but I have never been able to leave this underground palace. But as long as I get your body, let alone leave this place, I can do whatever I want."

"...How about Shen Xianzun, are you willing to help me?"

Shen Li shook his head and sighed: "I'm stubborn."

"So what?" Qi Ling suddenly leaned forward, and a fairy sword appeared in his hand out of thin air.

As soon as Qi Ling stretched out his long sword, he stabbed at Shen Li, and the sharp sound of sharp weapons colliding reverberated in the center of the altar.The figures of the two intertwined, Shen Li flipped his wrist, and the dagger pierced into Qin Muzhi's forearm holding the sword. When the blade was lifted, a deep bloodstain was neatly drawn.

Qi Ling felt a sharp pain in his arm and staggered back two steps, almost unable to hold the fairy sword in his hand.

He took a deep breath, slowly straightened up, and the wound on his forearm healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Difficult to deal with." Shen Li clicked his tongue lightly, and the opponent swung his sword again.

Shen Li sideways dodged the opponent's offensive, fought and retreated, and was soon forced to the corner of the altar.

Qi Ling's face gradually showed complacency: "If your cultivation base is still in its prime, maybe I will still be afraid. But now..."

His voice was interrupted by Shen Li's suddenly intensified attack, dust was flying on the altar, and the two of them had passed more than a hundred moves in an instant.Rao is a weapon spirit who has cultivated for hundreds of years, but he still can't get close to Shen Li's body at all, and his body is also not afraid of external forces, and it can heal quickly even if it is seriously injured.

The two stalemate for a while, Qi Ling couldn't bear it anymore and said: "Give up, you can't do anything to me at all, if this continues, how long can you last?"

Shen Li's movements slowed down, he raised his brows, and finally smiled: "Of course I lasted until... the rescuers came."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud noise from nowhere, and a gap exploded in the place where the earth and rocks were piled up right in front of the altar.

The light that had not been seen for a long time shone into the altar from outside the cave, and Qi Changzhao stepped in with his sword in his hand, his expression could not be seen clearly against the light.

But at that moment, Shen Li clearly saw that deep and gentle gaze, passing through layers of gravel and dust, passing through this bloody and dark purgatory, and met his gaze from afar.

Shen Xin's head trembled inadvertently, but he couldn't hold it back, and tilted his head to chuckle: "He knows how to be handsome because of his appearance."

Tool Spirit: "..."

"Are you injured?" Qi Changzhao asked softly, leaping onto the altar.

"No." Shen Li withdrew the smile on his face for a second, and complained with a straight face, "Why did you just come, which caused me to delay so much time?"

Qi Changzhao: "...I've been waiting for a long time, this place is hard to find."

"Are you really looking for it? You are not waiting for me to subdue this thing and come to enjoy it again?"

"Of course not, I'm not—"

"Enough!" Qi Ling couldn't bear it anymore, "Do you still have me in your eyes?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," Shen Li smiled apologetically at Qi Ling, and looked at Qi Changzhao, "Daoist, look at this..."

"I'm coming, you back off."

Qi Changzhao stretched out the long sword in his hand, stabbing straight at Qi Ling.Shen Li nodded in satisfaction, took half a step back, and made up his mind to watch from the sidelines.

The ordinary weapon in Shen Li's hand, a large handful of daggers, is far from being comparable to the immortal sword tempered from spirit stones in Qi Changzhao's hand.In addition, Qi Changzhao's sword moves were much faster and fiercer than Shen Li's, within a few moves, Qi Ling had been knocked back again and again, and finally rolled down the altar in embarrassment.

Qi Changzhao chased after him, but as expected, the wound on this person healed very quickly, even Qi Changzhao couldn't do anything about it.

Shen Li sat on the edge of the altar and watched the battle for a while, then shook his head: "That is possessed by a weapon spirit, even if you chop him up, he can still put himself together. Use your brains when fighting, Daoist Jiyun. "

Qi Changzhao paused, and vaguely understood something, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth: "So it's not that you can't deal with him, you're just waiting for now?"

Shen Li tilted his head, pretending to be puzzled: "I don't understand what the Taoist priest is talking about."

"then!"

When the sword was drawn, Qi Changzhao raised his hand, and threw a small object straight at Shen Li.Shen Li reached out to catch it, and his fingertips touched the familiar cold mirror.

Bronze mirror.

Shen Li smiled: "It's good to be this early, why bother to make me go through this whole thing."

Qi Changzhao: "Stop talking nonsense, now is the time."

Shen Li restrained his teasing, chanted a mantra softly, and flicked his palm lightly on the mirror, a dazzling white glow emerged from the mirror.

He let go of his hand, and the bronze mirror flew out automatically, and landed firmly on top of Qi Ling's head.

"what is this--"

The light reflected from the mirror was like a light prison, imprisoning the spirit of the weapon in an instant, his expression froze, and Qi Changzhao kicked him on the shoulder.

The physical body and spiritual body were separated instantly, and Qin Muzhi's body flew upside down, leaving only a young man with an unfamiliar face on the spot.The man has no body, and the white shadow is blurred and somewhat transparent in the light of the bronze mirror.

Qi Ling staggered and landed on one knee. Under the light prison, he didn't even have the strength left to stand.

He leaned over to pant for a moment, and said softly: "...I lost."

"I'll give you two choices, go with us voluntarily, or we will take you away forcibly." After controlling the person, Shen Li was not in a hurry, and discussed with him in a friendly voice.

Qi Changzhao frowned slightly.

In fact, even if Qi Ling is unwilling, they still have a way to make the magic weapon recognize its master, and Qi Ling obeys.They came here for this magic weapon, no matter whether the spirit of the weapon is willing or not, they will take it away, Shen Li's visit is completely superfluous.

However, this is also in line with his temperament.

Qi Changzhao sighed lightly and didn't stop him, just let him go.

Qi Ling didn't answer, but suddenly turned around and looked at the woman in the wedding dress lying on the white jade bed from a distance.

After a while, he withdrew his gaze and said softly: "I don't choose, you guys destroy me."

This was beyond Shen Li's expectation: "Didn't you always want to leave here? Now that you have this opportunity, why don't you want to?"

"No comment."

"Then there is no other way." Shen Li pondered for a moment, got up and walked to Baiyu's bed, leaned over and whispered to the woman lying quietly on the bed, "Don't worry, girl, I will take this concentric bell away first."

He said that he was going to fetch the silver bell on the woman's waist, but Qi Ling suddenly said loudly: "Don't touch her!"

Shen Li paused.

He glanced at the woman's still rosy face, the faintly glowing concentric bell, and behind her, Qi Ling's suddenly frightened expression...

Shen Li understood, and asked softly, "You used the concentric bell to protect this girl's body?"

Qi Ling didn't answer.

After a while, Shen Li asked again: "Actually, with your cultivation, you could have left this place long ago, right?"

Qi Ling still didn't answer.

Shen Li stared at the white shadow, and calmly said the answer: "Once Tongxinling leaves the body, this body will turn into a piece of dry bones. So you would rather stay here forever, guarding this fresh corpse, And don’t want to set yourself free?”

"Enough is enough, destroy me."

Shen Li couldn't bear it: "Why do you..."

"I've said enough!" Qi Ling interrupted him sharply, "Since you have already defeated me, destroy me, and dissipate into the world with her, which means that I have not broken my original agreement. Destroy me soon !"

After he finished speaking, he suddenly turned his head to look at Qi Changzhao, with a strange smile on his face: "Destroy me quickly, otherwise, you know what I will say... Your Majesty Tianyu, or should I call you ..."

His last few words were too soft to be heard, but Qi Changzhao's expression changed immediately.

The long sword in Qi Changzhao's hand buzzed, and quickly stabbed at Qi Ling.

But Shen Li moved faster than him.

The light of the bronze mirror suddenly brightened, and rays of light merged into ropes and sprang out from the mirror, weaving a dense net around Qi Ling's body, blocking the menacing sword.

Qi Changzhao's eyes sank, Shen Li didn't dare to stop, and immediately cast a spell to recall the bronze mirror.

The white shadow entwined by the light returned to the side of the white jade bed, and all of them disappeared into the silver bell.Sensing that Qi Changzhao's figure had chased after him, Shen Li erected a barrier behind him without thinking, and quickly drew out the dagger with his other hand and swiped it neatly at his fingertips.

A drop of blood dripped on the silver bell impartially.

The blood melted without a trace on the silver bell, and an invisible line of blood floated out and gently wrapped around Shen Li's wrist.

The deed is completed.

Shen Li didn't move the silver bell, but took out the spirit storage ring in his bosom, and put the silver bell together with the woman's body into the spirit storage ring.

All these changes happened in a very short period of time, and when all of them were completed, Shen Li felt a cold sweat breaking out from his back.

The contract with Tongxinling was just to prevent Qi Changzhao from destroying it.He is still not sure whether this concentric bell will be the key to open the space-time channel, but before the matter is confirmed, it is impossible for him to let Qi Changzhao destroy it anyway.

But... what did that person hear just now, and he wanted to destroy this magic weapon so recklessly.

Isn't this what he wanted so hard?

After the hustle and bustle cleared up, Shen Li turned around and sat beside the white jade bed, only then did he think of Qi Changzhao who was blocked by him.

He raised his eyes to see that the latter was standing not far behind him, holding a long sword, and was also looking down at him.

Qi Changzhao's figure seemed to be divided into two halves by the light and shadow, half of his face was reflected in the faint blue fire light, looking extraordinarily pale, while the other half was completely hidden in the darkness, only his eyes were extremely dark, unable to distinguish between happiness and anger.

The two sat and stood, looking at each other from a distance in this silent purgatory on earth.

After a while, Shen Li still decided to give up asking what he just heard.He raised his hand to remove the barrier, supported the white jade bed and was just about to stand up, but for some reason his feet gave way and he almost fell.

Qi Changzhao quickly stepped forward to support him firmly.

Shen Li felt dizzy in his head, and the tiredness after excessive consumption of spiritual power quickly hit him, breaking his tense spirit in one fell swoop.

He stood up under Qi Changzhao's half-arm and half-hug, leaning on the other's shoulder and laughing in a low voice: "Look at this matter... Anyway, you also snatched my bronze mirror, and the concentric bell, why don't you stay with me first?" How many days?"

Qi Changzhao: "..."

Qi Changzhao seemed startled by Shen Li's righteousness, he opened his mouth, but didn't say anything for a while.

But this person didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his logic at all, and felt that Qi Changzhao's hug was not comfortable enough, so he struggled slightly.

"Don't move." Qi Changzhao pressed his arm and whispered in his ear, "I'll take you out first."

Shen Li hummed twice noncommittally, and didn't move anymore.

Qi Changzhao picked him up and walked out. He was silent for a while, but still wanted to save himself: "The spirit of the weapon has been here for hundreds of years, and it is extremely hostile. What it said... can't be trusted..."

Shen Li's eyelids drooped, and his voice sounded like he was half asleep: "Well, I understand."

He rubbed against Qi Changzhao's neck, found a comfortable position, and solemnly assured: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I absolutely don't believe that you are Qi Changzhao, not at all."

Qi Changzhao: "..."
