dare not love, already deeply in love

reasoning. "

"Reason? Hehe, the three of you appeared in Wusutag for me. If that's the case, then I'll show you what reason is." The green-robed man said, and immediately struck Hu Jiu with his palm.

Hu Jiu retreated quickly, the palm wind hit the sand under his feet, and immediately raised a large cloud of smoke and dust.Hu Jiu lost his eyes for a moment, he didn't see the green robed man rushing towards him.

"Fox Jiu!" Huo Xiao yelled, and jumped in front of Hu Jiu. At the same time, he took out the demon mirror from his bosom and pointed it at the man in green robe.

The man in the green robe hesitated for a moment, and the next moment, Huo Xiao was knocked to the ground by a powerful demon force, and at the same time, the demon mirror in his hand was shattered into a pile of scrap metal.

"Monster, come at me!" Qi Zhan jumped up, his hands were bent like eagle claws, blood was hanging from his mouth, and his eyes were firm.

The man in the green robe was calm and calm, as if he didn't pay attention to Qi Zhan at all. He waved his arms at the same time, and when he turned his wrists, there seemed to be faint imprints of Tai Chi gossip. Just when Qi Zhan was approaching him, the man's hands With a shake of his arm, Qi Zhan suddenly flew out as if he had hit a giant cauldron, with a painful expression on his face.

Qi Zhan fell into the sand, spit out several mouthfuls of blood one after another, his face became paler.

The green-robed man took two steps in mid-air, and was about to take Qi Zhan's life with his hand, Qi Zhan's eyes suddenly showed a little panic.

"Wandong!"

The man in the green robe stopped suddenly and was stunned in mid-air.

Hu Jiu walked out slowly: "I know it's you, we met on the day of the annual collection."

Huo Xiao glanced at Hu Jiu. Although his face was calm, there was still some surprise in his eyes. He only thought that Hu Jiu came to catch the monster, but he didn't think that Hu Jiu knew the monster.

He suddenly thought of something, and looked at the stone pier that the two had just dug up with their joint efforts, and a green jade corner loomed underneath.

"Why do you arrest so many children? Although I don't know you well, can I guess that you didn't do this out of intention?" Hu Jiu frowned and said, "You haven't hurt those children yet, you won't hurt them , but what are you going to use them for? I don’t believe in the words of immortality, go back with me and meet the Demon Emperor, I believe you are still willing to listen to the Demon Emperor’s words.”

Hu Jiu didn't know where she came from to say these words with confidence, but ever since she knew that Wan Dong was the demon emperor's cat, Hu Jiu suddenly felt that Wan Dong was very similar to herself, and the demon emperor was very similar to Xu Yan.Out of his own respect for Xu Yan, Hu Jiu also believed that no matter what happened between Wandong and the Demon Emperor, Wandong would still respect the Demon Emperor, just because Wandong would go to guard the entrance of the Demon Realm on the Annual Fair every year.

The man in the green robe finally moved. He turned around to face Hu Jiu, but Hu Jiu still couldn't see his face. The man asked in a low voice, "Did he ask you to come?"

"No, I want to come. These are all my guesses."

"I don't know who told you the name Wandong, unfortunately, I'm not Wandong."

Hu Jiu's eyes widened, could it be that she guessed wrong?

"I wanted to let you go, but you know too much." The man in the green robe stretched out his hand, and the Taiji diagram once again condensed in his palm.

"Fox Nine!" Huo Xiao shouted, and at the same time threw several darts from his hand.

The dart was powerful and went straight towards the green robed man.

The man in the green robe didn't pay attention to the darts at all, a green light flashed, and all the darts were reduced to ashes.

Qi Zhan got up from the ground again, he quickly ran to Huo Xiao, Huo Xiao subconsciously shot at him, the two entangled together at the same time: "Do you have realgar on you?"

Huo Xiao had no expression on his face, he still didn't stop fighting Qi Zhan, and continued to entangle with Qi Zhan, but Qi Zhan knew that he had heard his words, so Qi Zhan took the opportunity to whisper in Huo Xiao's ear again: "Get ready, let's go up together .”

Hu Jiu clenched the Fire Spirit Whip tightly, and made a move before the man's Tai Chi figure flourished. Holding the Fire Spirit Whip in his hand, he stepped on the stone platform to use his strength, and jumped towards the green-robed man.At the same time, a whip full of internal energy was thrown towards the man.

The man didn't move, the magnificent gossip totem swelled up all over his body, the fire spirit whip was thrown on the totem as if it had hit a copper wall and an iron wall, the power was instantly rebounded by the gossip totem, Hu Jiu used all his strength in this whip, When the strength returned, Hu Jiu even felt the heavy blow that the rebound would cause him from the trembling tiger's mouth.

But the return of the monster power is only a blink of an eye. Hu Jiu only had time to turn sideways, and the long whip was whipped on his left back in an instant. At this moment, Hu Jiu didn't even feel the pain at the whip wound, but was backlashed by his own monster power The pain in the blood meridians of the whole body.

Hu Jiu fell straight from mid-air onto the stone platform, and rolled down from the stone platform again, with blood dripping from the corner of his mouth.The Fire Spirit Whip flicked on the ground, and suddenly turned into a thick little finger, with a long forearm, and went straight into Hu Jiu's chest.

"Now!" Qi Zhan, who was still entangled with Huo Xiao just now, yelled, and went straight to the man in green robe.

The man in the green robe faced his palms directly. Qi Zhan, who had been seriously injured for a long time, couldn't resist the powerful force between the man's palms, and was instantly sent flying, smashing a rock directly.

But at this moment, Huo Xiao suddenly appeared from behind the green-robed man, and a large handful of earth-yellow powder in his hand flew onto the man.

The man waved his green robe in time to cover it, but Huo Xiao was in the wind when he waved it, and the man still smelled the unpleasant smell of realgar.

The man in the green robe flicked his long sleeves angrily. Huo Xiao was hit by the monster force from the man's sleeve, and was directly knocked into a stone pier. The stone pier even tilted. Moved.

Huo Xiao has no mana, and he was not noticed when he approached the man, so Huo Xiao gave the man a hard blow.

The man's green robe was quickly corroded by the realgar, and he must have inhaled the realgar powder. He fell to the ground at this moment, covering his chest with his hand, and vaguely saw his pain from his bent back.

The man suddenly raised his head and shouted: "Ah! I'm going to kill them! I'm going to kill them!"

After yelling, he lowered his head abruptly and said, "No! You can't kill him!"

The man hugged his head and yelled in pain: "Go to die! Why don't you go to die!"

"Go, get out of here!"

Hu Jiu looked at the man in the ragged green robe in surprise. He was talking to himself like a lunatic at the moment. He beat his head hard, and the cloak slipped a little. Hu Jiu saw the cat acting so charmingly. At the same time, he also saw the strange black spots all over his face.

"Who are you?" Hu Jiu shouted.

However, the man covered his cloak, covered his face, and quickly disappeared here.

"Why is he acting like a lunatic?" Qi Zhan, who fell not far away, shouted with a mouthful of blood.

Hu Jiu ignored Qi Zhan, but crawled over to Huo Xiao.

Huo Xiao was seriously injured, blood flowed from his nose and even his ears, his eyes were closed at this moment, and his breathing was very weak.

"Huo Xiao, you can't do anything, you can't do anything!"

Hu Jiu struggled to lift Huo Xiao's tall body and let Huo Xiao sit cross-legged, but Huo Xiao couldn't sit up at all. Fortunately, there was a big stone pier next to him. On Xiao's back is Huo Xiao's divine power.

Hu Jiu himself was seriously injured, and he didn't have any extra strength to heal Huo Xiao at the moment, but he still sent weak power to Huo Xiao's body time and time again.

Huo Xiao was called by him, no matter how powerful Huo Xiao is, he is still a mortal, so no matter what happens, nothing will happen to Huo Xiao!

Qi Zhan stretched out his sleeve and wiped the blood and sand on his face, struggled to get up from the ground, and walked slowly to Hu Jiu's side. He grabbed Hu Jiu's shoulder, and as soon as he exerted force, Hu Jiu fell to the side.

"Go away the trash, I'll do it." Qi Zhan sat cross-legged behind Huo Xiao, conceived the last remaining power in his body in his hands, and sent it to Huo Xiao's body.

After a while, Qi Zhan's last divine power was sent away, and Huo Xiao also coughed several times at this time, and then fell to the ground.

Qi Zhan leaned back and fell right next to Hu Jiu. He breathed out and said, "Okay, I can't die."

When Hu Jiu heard that Huo Xiao couldn't die, she breathed a sigh of relief and laughed.

Qi Zhan said weakly next to him: "Are you stupid too? Why are you laughing?"

"I'm laughing, ahem, I'm laughing that we were fighting to the death one moment, and fighting side by side the next moment." Hu Jiu really didn't expect things to turn out like this.

"Haven't you fought enough? Continue to fight?" Qi Zhan said, stretching out his hand and pressing on Hu Jiu's stomach. Hu Jiu lost the strength to even move. He just smiled and said, "Are we not fighting or knowing each other? I His name is Hu Jiu, his name is Huo Xiao, what's your name?"

"My name is Qi Zhan, Qi Yang's Qi. I know this mortal. I followed that monster for more than a month, and he followed me for more than a month. This is the first time I have seen such a powerful mortal."

Hu Jiu was noncommittal: "It is very powerful."

The two remained silent for a long time, as if they were both recovering from their injuries. After a while, Hu Jiu asked, "Have you rested? Can we talk now?"

☆, reconciliation

The two remained silent for a long time, as if they were both recovering from their injuries. After a while, Hu Jiu asked, "Have you rested? Can we talk now?"

Qi Zhan paused, it was useless for Hu Jiu to ask, and he explained to himself: "Before I obstructed you, and even killed you, it was just because I didn't want you to catch monsters, or you can say that I didn't want you to be one step ahead of me. Catch that monster."

Hu Jiu was a little puzzled, and asked, "What does this mean?"

Qi Zhan paused, his tone a little dignified, "I need something from that demon's hand to heal my mother."

Hu Jiu was suddenly surprised, Qi Zhan did all this for his mother?It took Hu Jiu a long time to react, and asked: "Your mother, what's the matter?"

"She was injured by a monster half a year ago, and she lost ten thousand years of cultivation, and the injury has not healed so far. I visited the medical fairy and finally got the formula of a medicine, but now I still need the last medicine, which is in the hands of the monster. "

"What is it?"

Qi Zhan shook his head and said, "There's only one taste in the world, and you don't even know it."

Hu Jiu suddenly thought, can the water from Tianchi heal Qi Zhan's mother's injury?Qi Zhan's mother should also be a god, and her life should not be in danger if she drank the water from Tianchi Lake, but now that Qi Zhan's last medicine is close at hand, he will definitely not give up here and go to Changbai Peak instead.

Qi Zhan suddenly turned his head to look at Hu Jiu and said, "I have been with that demon for more than a month, and I know very well that he hasn't harmed those children's lives yet. Help me, I will help you collect the demon and rescue those children, and you can help me too." I got the last medicine."

Hu Jiu looked at Qi Zhan's hand stretched out in front of her, and suddenly hesitated, should he trust this person?This person who coveted the Fire Spirit Whip to eradicate him from the very beginning.

Hu Jiu had to admit that the sadness and helplessness he felt when he was ostracized and coldly treated when he asked for medicine for his mother when he was young became clear again when Qi Zhan talked about his mother just now, and he saw Qi Zhan's black pupils shining with firmness of light.

"You don't need to believe me, and I didn't ask you to believe every word of mine. You can only understand that we fight side by side to get what we need. You collect the demon, and I take the medicine. We fight for each other. Our interests don’t conflict, don’t we? My business is not a threat to your life. I admit that I wanted to kill you because I wanted to get the Fire Whip too much, but compared to the Fire Spirit Whip, I want the medicine in that monster's hand more."

Hu Jiu heard Qi Zhan's words suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, especially Qi Zhan's sentence "We fought side by side just to get what we need", indeed, there was no emotional connection between them from being hostile to each other to fighting side by side , He always thought that fighting side by side was due to the friendship between the two sides, just like the deep friendship between him and Changying.But now I know that there is another kind of fighting side by side in order to get what each needs. Is this really the case?

Huo Jiu suddenly thought of Huo Xiao. He and Huo Xiao had also fought side by side, but the relationship between them was still not friendship. Huo Xiao helped him through life and death, just because it was the task entrusted to him by Mayor Feng. He just wanted to complete this task of collecting monsters.

But after hesitating for a while, he still held his hand.

The hands of the two were stained with blood and sand, but the palms were extremely hot. After a long, long time, Hu Jiu could still remember the strength and temperature when the two held hands.

When Huo Xiao woke up, the sky was already full of stars.Huo Xiao was surprised that Hu Jiu and Qi Zhan shook hands and made peace, but he didn't show it on his face, not even the slightest wave of doubt in his eyes.

Huo Xiao took out the emerald green and white jade pendant from the sand, fish-shaped, pearly eyes, extremely delicate, Huo Xiao handed the jade pendant to Hu Jiu, Hu Jiu rubbed the lines of the jade pendant with his fingers and couldn't help sighing.

The three of them rested for a while. It seemed that Huo Xiao recovered faster than the two of them, one monster and one god. Hu Jiu was very envious of Huo Xiao, and envied that Huo Xiao could become such a powerful appearance. He hoped that one day He will also become as powerful as Huo Xiao.

The three of them walked shoulder to shoulder and supported each other towards the town hall. When they arrived at the main road, the three were immediately surrounded by guards patrolling the street. Huo Xiao snorted coldly, and the guards were startled. The man in tattered clothes covered with blood and mud was his commander, so he quickly put down his weapon and stepped forward to help the three of them.

The three of them returned to the town office quickly, and Lin Qingyuan had been waiting there for a long time. When he saw the three of them coming back together, he seemed to have seen a ghost. He grabbed Hu Jiu, pointed at the exhausted Qi Zhan, and asked, "He, he, him Why are you here?"

"I'll talk about it later, I'll go wash up first."

The housekeeper immediately said: "Someone has reported to you just now, so your lord has asked your servants to prepare hot water and clean clothes, and put them in the Yulin Pavilion. Let the servants help you there."

Hu Jiu nodded, thank you very much.

"Hey, what about me?" Qi Zhan pressed on a somewhat thin guard, and his tall body crushed the guard until he gritted his teeth.

The butler took a look at Qi Zhan and said nothing, because this person had broken into the court at night before, and he didn't know whether this person was good or bad.

"Come with me, housekeeper, please send another set of clean clothes."

Seeing that Hu Jiu opened his mouth, the butler didn't say anything, and only asked his servants to prepare.

Hu Jiu said again: "President Huo, can you come with me?"

Huo Xiao glanced at the two of them and said, "No, I have to go to Geli Village to see."

Today, Mayor Feng has ordered his subordinates to gather all the children under the age of ten in Wusuli to Geli Village for unified guarding.

Qi Zhan said: "Huo Xiao, he may not come today due to serious injuries."

Huo Xiao walked out clutching his chest, and said, "I know, but I have to go and check, just in case."

Wandong seemed to have some problems with his brain. The three of them joined forces to fight against him today, and he was injured. After this battle, he would definitely guess that there was a trap waiting for him in the town, and he would definitely not come.

Hu Jiu and Qi Zhan went to take a bath together.

As soon as the servant closed the door, Qi Zhan immediately took off his dirty clothes and jumped into the tub, sighing comfortably as soon as the heat evaporated.Hu Jiu saw that there were four unhealed blood holes on Qi Zhan's chest. With Qi Zhan's divine power, the wounds had not healed by themselves, but she did not expect Wandong's cultivation to be so high.

"What are you staring at there?"

Hu Jiu reacted and jumped into the barrel, the whip wound on his back was soaked in hot water and immediately hurt like a needle prick.

The wooden barrel prepared by the housekeeper was very large, and the two of them didn't feel crowded in it.It is really comfortable to be soaked in hot water.

Qi Zhan looked at Hu Jiu and suddenly asked, "How old are you?"

Hu Jiu paused and said, "Five hundred years old."

Qi Zhan immediately said with disdain: "You are only five hundred years old and you dare to come to Wusutag to collect demons? If you hadn't met me, you probably wouldn't even know how you died."

Hu Jiu suddenly felt ashamed: "Don't underestimate me!"

Qi Zhan caught a glimpse of the Huo Ling Whip placed on the table by Hu Jiu and said, "That's the truth. By the way, I just heard the conversation between you and that monster. Did you know each other before?"

"I don't know each other. I just met him once, but you saw it just now. That person should not be the one I've met. You've been with him for more than a month, but what do you know?"

Qi Zhan rubbed his face and said, "If I'm right, he must have at least 5 years of cultivation."

Hu Jiu clicked her tongue secretly, thinking: "After all, it is the cat raised by the Demon Emperor, but it is different from ordinary domestic cats."

"We have calculated that the night after tomorrow is the day when Samsung embraces the moon. He will most likely open the altar on that day, but he still lacks the last child, so we must guard Geli Village for the next few days."

Qi Zhan frowned and said, "Are you sure it's the night after tomorrow?"

"Not sure, but that's the only possible guess."

The two cleaned up and changed into clean clothes. The housekeeper arranged another room for Qi Zhan. After Qi Zhan was arranged, Hu Jiu returned to his and Lin Qingyuan's room. Lin Qingyuan was not asleep yet, but sat cross-legged on the bed Meditate with style.

Hu Jiu sneered, "Have you ever caught a monster, Taoist Lin?"

Lin Qingyuan snorted and said nothing.

Hu Jiu said this just because he was angry with the old man. Although the old man had hurt him once, and he was a bit greedy for life and afraid of death, he still had some self-cultivation skills.

Afterwards, Hu Jiu seriously told Lin Qingyuan what happened to the three of them in the valley. Even though Lin Qingyuan was a bit unreliable, Hu Jiu still believed in Lin Qingyuan more than Qi Zhan, who had just established friendship. .

Lin Qingyuan stroked his gray beard, and murmured: "Are there black spots on his face? According to what you said, Wandong seems to be controlled by a demon."

"Demonized? Are you sure?"

"I'm not sure, but it's really similar, and this can also explain why Wandong somehow catches so many children to open the altar." Lin Qingyuan shook his head and said, "I talked a lot about Wandong with a demon in order to enter the demon world. , the man said that Wandong worshiped a god as a teacher when he was very young, because the Demon Emperor had a good relationship with that god, and that god was also a Taoist disciple, so Wandong was also a disciple of that god, which can explain why Wandong When fighting, they will use Taoist formations."

Hu Jiu snorted and said, "You really know more things."

Lin Qingyuan rolled his eyes with guilt, and continued: "Furthermore, Wandong has a gentle temperament, a lazy temper, and doesn't want to make friends with others, but he has never had any ill-will with others. He is definitely not a violent person. But what you said That human demon is powerful, and Qi Zhan estimates that he has at least 5 years of cultivation, so this person must not be Wandong."

"But he is really Wandong." Hu Jiu eagerly explained that the face he saw under the cloak before was absolutely unmistakable.

Lin Qingyuan clicked his tongue and said, "Didn't you also say that after getting the realgar powder, Wandong was like a lunatic and became insane. It is obvious that Wandong was controlled by someone. In addition to the pattern on Wandong's face, I Dare to say that he must be controlled by demons, only demons would do such a thing as offering sacrifices to a hundred virgins."

Hu Jiu sat on the stool and sighed dignifiedly. No wonder the emperor of the human world has played repeatedly, and there are many capable people in the demon world, but they still can't solve the crisis of Wusutag. If it is really a demon, then it can be explained.

10 years ago, during the War of the Three Realms, the demons used the method of assimilating gods and demons to force the ancient gods to end themselves. Therefore, up to now, no one dares to face the demons, for fear that if they are not careful, they themselves will be assimilated into demons. "If it's really a demon, what should we do?"

Lin Qingyuan said seriously: "If it's really a demon, then we can only run away."

Hu Jiu couldn't help but glared at Lin Qingyuan, thinking: "You really are a magic stick."

Lin Qingyuan said: "I can't do anything if you stare at me, that's a demon! And it's a demon with at least 5 years of cultivation!"

"So what about demons? Can't demons be subdued? Don't forget, your duty is to slay demons!"

Lin Qingyuan shrank his neck and said in a low voice, "I can't pass the small way."

"Is there any way to eliminate the demon in Wandong's body without harming his life?"

Lin Qingyuan rubbed his chin and said hesitantly: "This is almost impossible. First of all, we don't know whether the demon simply possessed Wandong, or whether Wandong has already been demonized. That's easy, just tie him up, drink him the demon-eliminating soup, let the poor man set up an altar, and cast out the demons for Wandong. But if Wandong has already been demonized, then the only option is to kill him. There is a way."

Hu Jiu was in a dilemma for a while, he clearly remembered that the god told him that he must bring him back alive.But now he didn't understand for a moment whether to bring Wandong back alive, or bring the monster back alive?

Hu Jiu looked at Lin Qingyuan suspiciously, and asked, "If we can catch Wandong, can you guarantee that we can exorcise the monster for Wandong?"

Lin Qingyuan swept the dust away, and half-knocked his eyes and said: "It's natural, killing demons and demons is the duty of a veteran."

Hu Jiu sighed suddenly, a little hopeless, not only for Lin Qingyuan, but for all of them, including herself, Huo Xiao and Qi Zhan, even if the three of them add up, they are not the current Wandong. opponent.

"Do you still know what happened between Wandong and the Demon Emperor? Maybe we can try to talk to Wandong."

"I swear, I really don't know. If I knew, the sky would be struck by lightning!"

Hu Jiu glared at Lin Qingyuan, turned around and left the room.

Hu Jiu was lying on the roof, with a full moon above her head that seemed to be within reach, and starlight was reflected in her reddish eyes.

After leaving for just a few days, Hu Jiu suddenly missed Xu Yan very much. Maybe it was Xu Yan's gentle attitude when he left that shocked him so much that he still can't forget it now.

When Shenjun's cold eyes looked at him, they were as warm as melting ice and snow. When he spoke to himself, his voice was deep and elegant.

Hu Jiu clasped the hand under her head, and the palm could still remember the touch of Xu Yan's cold jade-like skin, so wonderful.

What is the god doing now?Is it still waiting for him in the demon world?Why did Shenjun suddenly care about his affairs?Could it be that he was really afraid that he would embarrass Changbai Zhiding?

I don't know what happened to Jun Lan. At the beginning, she promised Jun Lan that she would go back immediately, but it took so long after she came out.She will be angry when he goes back, right?It's funny to think that when Jun Lan is angry, she pouts her mouth and doesn't say a word. Usually, that mouth chatters endlessly, but when she is angry, she has nothing to say.

Hu Jiu was feeling emotional when he suddenly saw two guards running over in a hurry, and it was obvious that they were running in the direction of his and Lin Qingyuan's residence.

"who is it?"

As soon as the two guards looked up and saw Hu Jiu, they immediately said, "Master Hu, the mayor asked me to report to you that something happened in Geli Village."

Hu Jiu's eyelids twitched, and she immediately jumped off the roof.

When Hu Jiu followed two guards to Geli Village, he saw an extremely bloody scene. All the children fell on the ground in the middle, surrounded by the bodies of the guards, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.There was a dead silence.

Hu Jiu saw Huo Xiao standing alone next to the bodyguard who had died all over the place, his back was extremely gloomy.They expected the monster not to come tonight, but he came anyway.

Hu Jiu stood there for a long time before he could react. He walked over with trembling legs. When he got close to Huo Xiao, Huo Xiao suddenly turned his head, with bloody killing intent in his eyes. He grabbed Hu Jiu's hand. clothes, and put his face in front of Hu Jiu, with blood spurting from his mouth, he said fiercely: "If you can't catch that monster, I will be the first to kill you to be buried with my brothers!"

☆, sky eye

Huo Jiu was shocked by the killing intent in Huo Xiao's eyes. After being thrown on the ground, he got up desperately. He ran to the side of the slain guard in a panic and reached out to touch the guard's neck. His pulse had disappeared and his body was icy cold. , will definitely die, but why can't I feel the power of these people's souls?

Could it be that their souls have all been absorbed?

no no no...

Hu Jiu sat cross-legged on the ground, peeping into the body of those guards with her demon power.

"Not dead! They are not dead!"

Huo Xiao, who was walking away, was stunned for a moment when he heard Hu Jiu's shout, and then quickly turned his head and rushed over. He grabbed Hu Jiu's clothes and asked fiercely, "What did you say? How could they not be dead?" ? Look at them, they are covered in wounds, they have no pulse, their bodies are stiff and cold, how could they not be dead!"

"It's not dead. This is just a trick used by the demon to deceive you mortals." After Hu Jiu finished speaking, he felt Huo Xiao's eyes that were about to burst into flames. He suddenly thought that he was almost deceived just now. , so he added: "However, this monster's magic power is too high, and ordinary gods can't see it."

Huo Xiao let go of his hand, and looked at the guard in front of him with a big gap in his waist and his intestines in disbelief. "It's all like this, isn't it dead yet?"

"You are a mortal, and what you see are the illusions left by monsters." Hu Jiu breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "But I can't save them now, I have to wait until the monster dies, and the formations he left behind will be destroyed." Disappeared."

"Why did he keep these?"

"Threat, after all, our appearance disrupted his plan."

"what's the plan?"

Hu Jiu shook her head: "Maybe I'll find out in the night after tomorrow, right!" Hu Jiu suddenly stood up and looked at the children lying in the middle of the crowd, and asked, "Did you lose the child?"

Huo Xiao also stood up. He didn't know this. When he came, the scene was already like this. He only cared about his dead brothers, so he thought those children were dead too, so he didn't pay much attention. At this time, Hu Jiu Asked, Huo Xiao then called one of his subordinates to count the number of children.

Hu Jiu stood aside with a solemn expression: "If he gets a hundred children, then the situation is really bad."

Huo Xiao also stood beside Hu Jiu with a solemn expression and did not speak.

Hu Jiu kept watching the movements of Huo Xiao's subordinates. Those people lifted the children in the middle side by side one by one, and waited until they were almost lifted.

Hu Jiu said, "There are 47 children left."

Huo Xiao looked at Hu Jiu in surprise, and felt that there was nothing strange about it, he said, "Not one less."

As soon as Huo Xiao finished speaking, the subordinate ran over and told him, "Return to the chief, there are 47 children left, not one of them."

Huo Xiao nodded, indicating that he could go down.

Hu Jiudao: "He came here, why didn't he take a single child away after doing so much? Is it just to threaten us?"

Huo Xiao suddenly said: "It seems that being a demon is also beneficial."

Hu Jiu took a look at Huo Xiao, saw that Huo Xiao understood the children for a moment, and said with a smile: "When the ancestor gods created the Three Realms, they specially set up a barrier for all mortals so that they would not be disturbed by evil spirits. It's a protection for mortals."

"It is the weak who need protection, but the strong are only obstacles."

Hu Jiu could hear Huo Xiao's helplessness when he said this. In fact, he could open his eyes for Huo Xiao, but he couldn't do that. Huo Xiao's life is in danger.

Huo Xiao suddenly turned his head to Hu Jiu and asked, "Are you right?"

"I……"

"Lin Qingyuan said that people can open the eyes of the sky, and after opening the eyes of the sky, they can see evil spirits and ghosts, but he said that opening the eyes of the sky for mortals is against the way of heaven and damages the way."

Hu Jiu looked at Huo Xiao's bright eyes and nodded, "That's right."

"Although helping you now is obeying the orders of the superiors, from your point of view, you owe me one."

Hu Jiu frowned: "Are you sure? It is against the law of heaven to open the eyes of ordinary people. Once the eyes of the sky are opened, they will not be closed for the rest of their lives. At that time, you will see everything you don't want to see, everything in this world Dirty and weird things will not escape your eyes, and if you open your eyes, you will bear a certain price, so are you sure?"

Huo Xiao smiled suddenly, and said: "Everything the human eye sees is just the superficial vanity of the emptiness of this world. He is illusory, so why should he be afraid of seeing the real. Do something even knowing there will be a price to pay."

Hu Jiu sincerely admired Huo Xiao's attitude towards life. He rubbed his palms together and said, "I have never opened my eyes to mortals, but I can give it a try."

"How to try?"

Hu Jiu stretched out his hand to cover Huo Xiao's eyes, and then the palm overflowed with crimson light. Huo Xiao frowned, and the huge pain from his eyes swept over all his perceptions. It hurt, but he clenched his teeth without making a sound.

After a while, Hu Jiu took down the palm of his hand, and Huo Xiao slowly opened his eyes. At first, his eyes were red and cloudy, and then gradually brightened. He suddenly found that in this dark night, his vision was extremely clear, and he could see clearly. Farther and clearer than before.

At the same time, he also saw that the corpses of the guards lying on the ground were all intact, and the blood on their bodies had turned into a misty red mist.

"They really didn't die!"

Huo Xiao suddenly looked startled, turned around and ran away.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Hu Jiu yelled but Huo Xiao didn't turn her head, so she also ran over with Huo Xiao.

Two people ran in front, and the other soldiers thought that something happened, and ran with them, but the two ran too fast and soon these people were thrown off by the two.

The direction Huo Xiao ran to was the east of the county government office. When Hu Jiu first arrived, he thought it was an abandoned place, but when he ran over with Huo Xiao, he realized that this was a prison cell. Huo Xiao pushed away from left to right, and then broke in.

Hu Jiu followed behind Huo Xiao. After entering the cell, there was a staircase extending underground. The further you went down the stairs, the more you could feel the coldness.

When he got to the bottom, Hu Jiu understood that this should be the cellar where the corpses were kept. What is Huo Xiao doing here?

Huo Xiao walked up to one of the corpses and lifted off the white cloth covering the corpse. The corpse was already covered with a layer of white frost, its skin was blue and purple, and its lips were pale.

Hu Jiu frowned and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"They are the people I told you to guard the altar in the valley. Do you think they are the same as the people in Geli Village?"

Hu Jiu walked over to take a look, and said, "That's right, it's exactly the same."

Huo Xiao lifted the covers of the other people around one by one, and Hu Jiu confirmed one by one that they were all controlled by black magic and they were not dead.

Huo Xiao, who has always been cold and expressionless, showed an extremely relaxed expression at this moment. Hu Jiu even saw the unusual joy in Huo Xiao's unfurled brows. These people are all Huo Xiao's comrades in arms. The joy of being dead and now knowing they are still alive cannot be concealed.

Huo Xiao leaned on the corpse bed and breathed a deep sigh of relief.

"Huo Xiao, although they are still alive, they will really freeze to death sooner or later if they freeze like this."

Huo Xiao came to his senses, walked to the door, and shouted loudly.

For the next two days, Hu Jiu, Huo Xiao, Qi Zhan, and Lin Qingyuan would patrol around the town with the large army during the day, looking for any abnormalities, but found nothing. Not lost, this situation makes everyone's emotions tense up.

In order to check the movement of the remaining four altars, Hu Jiu and Qi Zhan took turns guarding each of the four altars in the middle of the night, but nothing was found, while Huo Xiao and Lin Qingyuan were guarding in Geli Village, waiting for Wandong to come to steal again. The last child, but Wandong never came.

Hu Jiu gradually became anxious from the nervousness at the beginning, not only him, but almost everyone, including Mayor Feng and his servants, looked anxious.

Hu Jiu shut himself in the room and seriously thought about all the things that happened from him to Usutag. One scene after another flashed before his eyes. He suddenly discovered that all the things about Wandong were heard. It's not what Wandong himself said.

As for the purpose of arresting a hundred children, there is still no conclusive evidence, everything is heard and guessed!

Hu Jiu ran out of the room to find Lin Qingyuan, and asked anxiously, "What else do you know? What Wandong did, the one hundred children, the altar, the three stars hugging the moon, are all these things true?"

Qi Zhan and Huo Xiao both looked at the two of them beside them, with dignified expressions.

Lin Qingyuan was taken aback by Hu Jiu, and swore: "I, I have told you everything I know, and those things are just guesses!"

Hu Jiu let go of his hand, his expression blank: "Guessing, it's all guessing! But we have fallen into a misunderstanding, a fatal misunderstanding."

Qi Zhan said: "It is possible that he only needs 99 children."

Huo Xiao glanced at Lin Qingyuan and said, "Maybe he didn't want to live forever."

"Then what is he going to do?"

The three of them looked at Lin Qingyuan together. As the only person here who knew how to make calculations, Lin Qingyuan suddenly felt the weight of courage on his shoulders, and he was so heavy that he couldn't breathe.But other than that, he felt the oppression of the invisible pressure even more. He was just a layman, and he accidentally obtained a few magic weapons from the immortal. It is one's own responsibility to eliminate demons.

But he was really powerless, seeing the countless gazes falling on him, Lin Qingyuan felt suffocated.

The mayor raised his head, looked at the orange-red sunset in the west, and murmured: "It's getting dark."

There are still two hours before midnight.what to do?Hu Jiu sat up abruptly, and said, "No, it's already at this time, we can no longer sit on the sidelines."

Lin Qingyuan hurriedly asked: "Then what should we do?"

Qi Zhan said: "Why don't the four of us each lead a team to the four altars, if it's really tonight, then the demon will definitely appear at the altars."

Several people looked at each other in blank dismay, then agreed.

Huo Xiao immediately took out the map, then took out the charcoal pencil, and marked the positions of the four altars on the map. The remaining altar was almost destroyed when they fought with Wandong. used.

Lin Qingyuan had only been to the first altar at Husanli in West Tower that the three of them first visited, so he brought the most people there.

Huo Xiao took four of his most capable subordinates to the altar closest to Lin Qingyuan, and Qi Zhan went to the altar farthest from Lin Qingyuan alone.

As for Hu Jiu himself, he took the six people Huo Xiao pointed out to him and went to the remaining altar.

The four agreed that as soon as they found Wandong, they would set off fireworks as a signal.

Huo Jiu went down to the altar under the leadership of Huo Xiao, but at that time he took a different road, so the way from the town to there was not very familiar to Hu Jiu. Fortunately, there was a
