Green scales

"This Qinglin really looks familiar." Liu Shu said with a smile.

"So what?" Yuqin asked coldly, sneered and didn't want to pay attention, and took a few steps to go to Xia Xinglan's side. The disciple of Jianzong was standing beside Xia Xinglan and surrounded him. Seeing Yuqin As he walked step by step, he subconsciously took a few steps back, making Xia Xinglan stand at the front instead.

Yuqin's heart and eyes are full of Xia Xinglan, and she doesn't care about others.As long as Xia Xinglan believed in him, he didn't care about the others.

Yuqin walked towards Xia Xinglan step by step, Xia Xinglan just looked at him fixedly, Yuqin was very nervous inside, but pretended not to care on the face, her hands hidden under her sleeves were tightly clenched, the palms were pinched out by nails Here come the red marks.

a step far.

But Yuqin stopped unconsciously, and looked at Xia Xinglan fixedly, with a hint of hope in her eyes.Xia Xinglan looked at Yuqin quietly, then sighed, and slowly stretched out her hand.

Yuqin's heart relaxed, and a smile appeared on his face. He was never happy, but when he saw Xia Xinglan reaching out to him, he couldn't help laughing.

It seems that a warm sun in winter has melted the snow on the top of the mountain that has not melted all year round.

Yuqin held Xia Xinglan's hand, bowed her head and remained silent.

"Isn't that right?" Liu Shu smiled, pushed aside the juniors and sisters, walked up to Xia Xinglan, stood with his hands behind his back, and said, "If I remember correctly, Senior Brother seems to have seen a green scale before coming here?"

Xia Xinglan hesitated for a moment, then nodded slowly.

"Brother must have seen it too. The one in Pei's mansion is a black python. Where did the green scale come from?"

"Maybe it's his accomplice." Xia Xinglan said in a deep voice.

"The senior brother can see this Qinglin all the way, he must have already sneaked into us."

"Yuqin has followed me all the way, it is impossible for him to do such a thing." Xia Xinglan said helplessly, "I know you have prejudice against Yuqin because of what happened back then, but in the past few years we have been together day and night, he will definitely not be a demon, It's even more impossible to harm me. Don't mention it again, I will find another way to deal with the snake demon."

Liu Shu was not impatient when he heard the words, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Since the senior brother has spoken, I have a few questions to ask Young Master Yu, is that okay?"

Xia Xinglan glanced sideways at Yuqin, who nodded slightly.

"I remember Yuqin isn't her real name?"

"I grew up in Bibo Pavilion since I was a child, and I don't remember my original name for a long time."

"Then do you still remember who gave you this name?" Liu Shu pressed every step of the way.

"The red girl 12 years ago, drinking songs."

Liu Shuxin nodded, and the little junior sister beside him asked nervously, "Senior brother...how is it?"

"Totally correct."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, not knowing what Liu Shu was doing, and they only picked out some insignificant things to ask.What does this mean?Even if it proves that Yuqin is not "Yuqin", can it prove that he is a demon?

Xia Xinglan breathed a sigh of relief, and held Yuqin's fingers tightly.Yuqin tilted her head towards him and licked the corners of her lips slightly, expressing her peace of mind.

"Now that I've finished asking, I'll take Yuqin to settle down first."

"Wait a minute." Liu Shu suddenly stopped her and said, "I still have a small question, and I want to ask Mr. Yu to explain it."

Yuqin raised her head, narrowed her eyes slightly, and fixedly stared at Liu Shu.

"The man from Bibo Pavilion once said that Mr. Huaiyu can't eat jujube cake. When he ate it by mistake when he was young, he had difficulty breathing and developed rashes all over his body. Is this the case?" Liu Shu asked leisurely, turning sideways a few times. He stepped in front of Xia Xinglan and Yuqin.

Yuqin glanced up and responded perfunctorily.

After Liu Shu got an affirmative answer, she raised the corners of her mouth and laughed, and Yu Qin's heart skipped a beat.

"If I remember correctly, when we first came to Pei's mansion, there were jujube paste cakes among the cakes served by the maid. Moreover, Mr. Yu seems to have eaten a lot." Liu Shu paused, then continued with a smile: " But it seems that Mr. Yu is still in good health."

Yuqin's face froze, as a monster, he naturally didn't need to eat human food, and he just ate a few casual mouthfuls when he was idle and bored, unexpectedly, Liu Shu discovered it early in the morning!

Yuqin's thoughts turned sharply and he was thinking of countermeasures. Suddenly, Xia Xinglan pulled Yuqin behind him, and said to Liu Shu with a worried expression: "That was just a thing when I was young, maybe the symptoms are mild now, or the dose is less. "

A flash of surprise flashed in Liu Shu's eyes, and then the smile gradually disappeared, and he stood straight on the spot like a pillar, staring at Xia Xinglan steadfastly.

"Senior brother is right, I was too worried." After a pause, Liu Shu turned his head to look at Yuqin, and paused every word: "However, I dare to guarantee with my head that there must be demons among us. Now is a special period, just in case, we still need to prove our innocence.”

"What's the best idea for Daoist Yun Shu?" Pei Yun, who had stood silent for a long time, suddenly said.

Liu Shu still stared straight at Yuqin, "Jianzong has a special transformation water. If a monster takes it, it will show its original shape and it is harmless to ordinary people. Why don't we come one by one? Let's start with Mr. Yu." how?"

Liu Shu waved his hand, and the disciple of Jianzong at the side immediately took out a small pure white porcelain bottle from his cloth bag.

If it was the heyday of the past, Yuqin would not have worried that he would be seen through, even if he put a charm on his face, it would be useless.

But...it is not what it used to be, he has already lost too much cultivation, and now he has no doubt that the transformation water in this small porcelain bottle is enough to reveal his true colors.

Yuqin's fingertips trembled slightly, it was a dilemma.But the Jianzong disciple had already started handing out a small porcelain bottle. Yuqin took the porcelain bottle and rubbed the smooth and cool body with his fingertips, hesitating for a while.While everyone was not paying attention, he quietly turned his head to look at Lian Ge at the door, and saw that he took the porcelain bottle calmly, without any panic, as if he had already prepared it, obviously in collusion with Liu Shu, as for the bottle in his hand Whether it's shapewater or not is up for debate, and it's no wonder he's so unflappable.

Yuqin sneered in his heart, everyone came prepared, how could he resist?

After everyone had finished distributing, Liu Shu picked up the porcelain bottle, raised it far away and uncovered the cork, and said in a deep voice, "Young Master Yu, please?"

It seems that Liu Shu must force him to drink. If he insists on it, maybe he can hold on for a while, so he can only gamble.

With a sound of "Bo——", Yuqin lifted the cork with his thumb and slowly raised it to his lips.His thick and long eyelashes trembled slightly, his Adam's apple rolled, and just as he was about to raise his head to drink it all in one gulp, Xia Xinglan suddenly lightened his hand, and Xia Xinglan snatched the porcelain bottle from his hand.

Everyone was in an uproar, and Yuqin was also taken aback.Liu Shu's face completely sank, watching Xia Xinglan without saying a word.

After a while, Xia Xinglan let out a long sigh, looked around with complex expressions at all the juniors and sisters who were out of the situation, and said slowly: "Liu Shu, we grew up together, we are brothers and sisters, I know you have always disliked Yuqin, but he It's my beloved, I can't let you insult him like this, he won't drink this bottle of water."

Yuqin stared blankly at Xia Xinglan, suddenly the tip of her nose felt a little sour, and she quickly lowered her head to hide her expression.

"Senior brother, I found that you have changed a lot and made me a little strange." Liu Shu couldn't maintain his smile anymore, and said with a cold face, "Are you worried that he will be found out as a demon?"

"I haven't changed." Xia Xinglan said helplessly, "I don't want you to meddle in my affairs with Yuqin anymore."

"Even if he is a demon?"

The surroundings suddenly became quiet, and a gust of wind shook the dead leaves between the branches, making a slight caressing sound.

"Even if he's a demon." Xia Xinglan said firmly.

Liu Shu remained silent.

"As long as he is Yuqin, I will not give up on him."

As soon as the words were finished, Liu Shu grinned at the corner of his mouth, revealing an evil smile. The laughter became louder and louder, and he became a little hysterical afterwards.

"Then what if he's not Yuqin? Will you still protect him? What if he's a counterfeit?" Liu Shu said word by word while walking towards Xia Xinglan. Qin's face turned pale, while Xia Xinglan's brows became more and more tight.

"Liu Shu! You are crazy!"

"It's you who's crazy!" Liu Shu growled, stepped forward and threw the porcelain bottle in his hand to the ground, grabbed Xia Xinglan's collar with both hands, trembling with anger. "Since you like Yuqin so much, why can't you tell the truth from the fake! I think you are deceiving yourself! Are you worthy of Master!"

"You were unrestrained at the beginning, and you just left! Do you know how long the master has been sitting in the room of thinking about past mistakes! Abandon the entire Jianzong, all the younger brothers and sisters, and Xiaofu! Do you really have a clear conscience? !"

The scar deep in Xia Xinglan's heart was torn open bloody, and he was suffocated and speechless.

Liu Shu panted for a moment, but calmed down, slowly let go of her hand, looked sideways at Yuqin, showed a cruel smile, and said loudly: "It's really not right for people to wait for so long. It's not too soon Invite Mr. Yuqin over here."

The younger brother at the side immediately ran out when he heard the words, and Liu Shu backed away slowly, with a hint of pleasure on his face.Yuqin was chilled all over, bowed her head and said nothing.

A moment later, a clear voice sounded, and Xia Xinglan felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and looked in shock at the thin figure slowly approaching outside the door.

As soon as the young man in white appeared, everyone present gasped.

The appearance, figure, and voice are exactly the same as Yuqin's, almost carved out of the same mold!Everyone's eyes kept looking back and forth between the young man and Yuqin, and finally they had to admit——exactly the same!

Xia Xinglan was already dumbfounded, while Yuqin's face turned pale, staring deeply at Liu Shu and the young man in the distance.

When the young man in white saw Yuqin for the first time, he was shocked and speechless.

"Brother Liu? What... what's going on here?" The young man shrank his neck and subconsciously hid behind Liu Shu. Liu Shu slowed down his voice and caressed the young man's back. A rosy color suddenly appeared on the young man's cheeks. .

"Come on, tell Daoist Xia, who are you?"

The young man looked at Xia Xinglan carefully, and replied, "My name is Yuqin."

The face was exactly the same, but the young man in white was always less determined and indifferent, and more soft.Even though they have similar faces, they can still be distinguished.

"How did you leave Bibo Pavilion?" Liu Shu looked at the dazed Xia Xinglan with a smug smile.

The young man paused, thought for a moment and said slowly: "I don't remember clearly, I just remember that one night, a good-looking young man in red came to me and gave me a box, saying that there was a lot of money in it. I left here to find another way of life. When I opened that box, I was a little dazed, and then my vision went dark, and I didn't know any more."

Liu Shu gently stroked the young man's shoulder, stopped talking, and then continued: "Brother, do you want to know how I found out?"

Without waiting for Xia Xinglan's response, Liu Shu continued on his own, "It's a coincidence that I was chasing and killing a little monster one day, and that monster ran into a cave in a panic. Guess what I found when I went in?"

"A soul-locking array, and the person lying in the center of the array, isn't this the young master Yuqin?"

Xia Xinglan seemed to have his soul taken away, he stared blankly at the young man in white in the distance, and slowly let go of his interlocking hands, but Yuqin was holding Xia Xinglan's wrist tightly, calling Xia Xinglan back in an instant with great strength god.

Xia Xinglan looked at the young man in white, and said with difficulty: "Liu Shu, don't lie to me anymore, I can't mistake someone."

"Brother, have you forgotten? Yao is the best at deceiving people. You have been deceived by him for a long time, and you have been poisoned. That's why you are so stubborn. Come back, Master is waiting for you, it's not too late to turn back now." Liu Shu's expression softened, and he persuaded softly.

Xia Xinglan glanced at the pale-faced Yuqin beside him, and shook his head very slowly.

Liu Shu's complexion changed. "It doesn't matter, I already knew that this monster would not let go easily, and I will let you see his true colors."

As soon as the words fell, Liu Shu raised his hand and waved, a gust of wind swept out, and instantly a golden light flew out, turning into a long and thin chain in mid-air, attacking Yuqin straight!

Yuqin's eyes tightened, subconsciously let go of Xia Xinglan's hand, turned sideways to avoid the gold thread's attack, and landed steadily after a flip.But Liu Shu retreated with just one blow, Yuqin's chest was choked, as if there was an aura rushing in his body, suddenly his throat became fishy, ​​and he vomited a mouthful of blood!

Suddenly, Yuqin's eyes turned black, her ears buzzed, and the spiritual power in her body seemed to be pulled by an external force, rushing left and right all the way, eager to find a breakthrough.

When the buzzing stopped, a group of screams suddenly poured in.Yuqin regained his eyesight and fell to the ground limply. His legs were no longer there, replaced by a dark green snake tail with a dull dark green color on the scales.

Yuqin lowered her head slowly, and saw Qinglin looming on the back of her hand.

"Xing...Xinglan..." Yuqin murmured, he felt Xia Xinglan was not far away from him, but he didn't dare to look at his face no matter what, he was afraid that what he saw would be disgust.Yuqin called Xia Xinglan's name in a low voice, hoping that those generous and warm hands could lift him up from the cold ground.

Just like the day we first met, I gently picked him up from the mud and held him in my arms.

But it was too late to wait for that warmth.

"I've poured water into the teapot in your bedroom for a long time. As long as you practice a little bit, you will be able to reveal your true colors." Liu Shuzhi said proudly, "Snake demon, you have lied to my senior brother for so many years. What should you do? Why don't you come and let the senior brother decide?"

After Liu Shu finished speaking, he looked sideways at Xia Xinglan. Xia Xinglan froze in place, looking at the snake demon who kept calling his name softly on the ground.

The green snake tail hurt his eyes, Xia Xinglan approached slowly, looked at Yuqin who was slumped on the ground, squatting on the bed, without saying a word.

Yuqin lowered her head, only Xia Xinglan's clothes could be seen.

A moment later, that warm palm lightly covered his scales, the snake's tail swayed subconsciously, and quickly shrank back, unwilling to let Xia Xinglan touch it.

"You... are a demon."

"..."

"Are you Yuqin? Are you my Yuqin?"

Yuqin opened her mouth, her lips trembling slightly, and Xia Xinglan's eyes showed a hint of imperceptible expectation.It seems that as long as Yuqin nods, he can take him away regardless.

Finally, Yuqin shook his head slowly.

Xia Xinglan smiled miserably, withdrew her hands and got up and backed away repeatedly.The tip of Yuqin's nose was sour, and her lips whispered softly: "I'm sorry, I lied to you."

"But I never thought of harming you! I just...just" Yuqin looked up quickly, her eyes were red, her voice was choked with sobs, "I just want to be with you, that's all, if I can, I want to Be a mortal. But I was born like this, what can I do?!"

"If you don't like monsters, then I'll pretend to be a human. If you like Yuqin, then I'll be Yuqin."

Xia Xinglan looked relaxed, looked at the person in front of him, and said in a low voice, "Yuqin..."

Yuqin looked happy, and hurriedly stood up with his body supported. His long snake tail was stained with dust, and it had long lost its former brilliance.

"Xinglan." Yuqin stretched out his hand, wanting to touch Xia Xinglan, at this moment, a golden light shot straight over, tightly bound his wrists!

Liu Shu grabbed the other end of the golden thread, wrapped it around his arm a few times, and shouted: "What are you waiting for?! Protect senior brother, catch the snake demon!"

As soon as the words fell, many sect disciples threw golden threads one after another, and all directions were like an impenetrable net, heading towards Yuqin's net overwhelmingly.

The golden light was blazing, as if several sharp knives had penetrated his body, and the pain was incomparable. Yuqin screamed out, blood bursting all over his body, and the golden net became tighter and tighter, as if he was about to cut his flesh in a few breaths He sank deeply, blood gushed out, and immediately Yuqin's clothes were stained red with blood.

"Xia...Xia Xinglan."

Xia Xinglan suddenly came to his senses, seeing Yuqin covered in blood, he said angrily, "Stop! Stop it!" He quickly drew out his long sword, and slashed at the golden thread in a haphazard manner.

At this moment, the surrounding area suddenly became dark, and the wind blew up suddenly, and the sky was dark, and the black air hit the sky above Pei's mansion again in the blink of an eye, rushing towards the young man in white standing at the door!

"Ah!" The young man screamed violently, and was swept into the air by the black air, and then the black air disappeared, and the young man fell straight from the air. At such a height, he was sure to die!

However, Liu Shu didn't care, and still tied the gold thread tightly. Yuqin in the golden thread net was already so weak that she couldn't even stand up, and could only fall to the ground, gasping for breath, but still reached out to Xia Xinglan. With blood dripping on his hands, his lips moved slightly, murmuring Xia Xinglan's name silently.

Xia Xinglan stared at Yuqin in a daze, gritted his teeth, turned around and ran towards the door, threw out a spell while running and immediately formed an invisible barrier in the air, the young man landed on the barrier, and then slowly landed.

Yuqin looked at Xia Xinglan's back in despair, with a tear in his eyes, as if a knife had cut his heart.

Xia Xinglan caught the young man in white steadily. The young man was still in shock, holding Xia Xinglan's lapel with both hands, still very scared.

"Thank you, Daoist Xia."

Xia Xinglan looked at the face in front of him that was exactly the same as Yuqin, and felt mixed emotions in his heart. After he stabilized his figure, he turned his head and ran towards Yuqin.

But one step too late, the black air flashed out of thin air again, rushing from the sky towards Yuqin, who was lying on the ground extremely weak, the golden light scattered, and the black air wrapped Yuqin and flew into the air!

Xia Xinglan's eyes were about to burst, he let out a loud roar, and threw the thunder talisman regardless, trying to attract thunder.However, Liu Shu pushed Xia Xinglan violently, Xia Xinglan was unsteady, and the sword came out of his hand.Seeing this, Liu Shu hugged Xia Xinglan tightly, Xia Xinglan couldn't help struggling, and punched Liu Shu back hard with his elbow.

"let me go!"

"No! You can't be with that snake demon anymore!" Liu Shu snorted a few times, but her arms tightened even more.

Suddenly, there was a scream in mid-air, and in the black air, only the green snake tail could be seen frantically struggling, and the blood kept spilling, like a rain of blood.

When the screams stopped, the snake's tail drooped softly, Yuqin's eyes were empty, and a big hole was opened in her abdomen, and a green bead was flying around with fluorescent green light spots.A black shadow in the shape of a snake can be vaguely seen swimming slowly among the beads.

That is Yuqin's inner alchemy.

Immediately, the black air was absorbed, and the green body was wrapped in a swift escape to the distance.

Yuqin's eyes were empty and lifeless, and she lowered her hands softly, falling from the sky.

Seeing this, the corners of Liu Shu's mouth twitched, Xia Xinglan violently pushed her away, and she fell to the ground, smiling wantonly.Seeing this, the young man in white rushed forward to help Liu Shu up, but was pushed away by Liu Shu.

In an instant, there was a high-pitched hawk chirping in the sky, and then a golden light pierced through the clouds, and a huge object suddenly broke through the clouds and rushed to the ground.

A black shadow flashed past, and then a tall, handsome man in black clothes stood in the air, his sleeves were windless, his black hair was hanging down, and he had the air of a king.In a daze, the man in black raised his hand and waved his body.

Situ Ling hugged Yuqin horizontally, seeing that he was exhaling more air than inhaling at the moment, his face changed drastically when he saw the big hole in Yuqin's abdomen, he quickly opened his mouth and exhaled a black gold breath, which was immediately sucked into Yuqin's body.

Situ Ling looked at the crowd on the ground coldly, and said in a deep voice: "The demon world will not let it go."

Then stepped on the giant eagle and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
