"That's wrong." Bai Mengjin, who was already on the boat, suddenly sat up.
"What's wrong? What's wrong with what I said?" Ji Xingge, who was making up a story, was startled by her. Ling Bufei and Baili Xu also looked at her with puzzled faces.
There was nothing to do at night, so the four of them talked around the fire, eating and drinking, making up stories to scare each other. Ji Xingge was immersed in his speech when he was suddenly interrupted by her.
Bai Mengjin got up from the lounge chair and walked straight out of the cabin.
The three people were confused, dropped the peanuts and melon seeds in their hands, and followed him out.
"Uncle Yuan, are you there?" She patted the door next door.
After a while, Yuan Songqiao's voice came from the room: "Come in!"
Bai Mengjin opened the cabin door and saw Yuan Songqiao looking troubled: "Aren't you telling a story? Why did you come to me?"
He almost fell asleep while listening, and suddenly stopped talking about these children...
"Something is wrong with the Ling family." Bai Mengjin got straight to the point.
This sentence drove everyone's sleepiness away at once.
Yuan Songqiao asked: "How?"
Bai Mengjin turned around and asked, "How did the Ling family's seal be lifted?"
Ji Xingge answered consciously: "One of the formation eyes has been moved, so..."
"When was it moved?"
Ji Xingge thought for a while: "When we prepare for the birthday banquet, how many days have passed, right?"
"That's right. It's been a few days. This demon can come out early tomorrow. Why does it have to wait until the birthday banquet starts? If it had been a few days earlier and the Ling family didn't have so many high-level monks, it could have come out and had a feast. , and then ran away."
When she said this, everyone's expressions became serious.
Yes, why do you have to wait these days? What good does it do to this devil?
Ling Bufei thought for a while: "Is it too confident in itself and thinks it can eat more?"
Yuan Songqiao pondered for a moment and replied: "It's unlikely. This devil has been suppressed for thousands of years and his strength has been weakened a lot. He should escape as soon as possible."
"That……"
"There are two reasons." Yuan Songqiao said, "First, it's not that it doesn't want to leave, but it needs a certain amount of time to recover. Second, it has another purpose."
When it came to the second reason, he immediately picked up his robe and put it on, and told the younger ones: "You guys stay here while I go back to Ling's house."
Yuan Songqiao left, and the four of them returned to the cabin, but no one could sleep peacefully.
"Then the devil didn't push him back at all, right?" Ji Xingge asked tentatively.
Bai Mengjin fiddled with the peanuts on the baking sheet and replied: "Its body has indeed been pressed back, but I'm not sure if there are any missing parts, such as clones or something..."
The three of them felt a chill running down their backs.
Seeing their serious looks, Bai Mengjin laughed out loud: "Let me just say this, it's not that easy. Anyway, I've reminded Uncle Yuan, so there shouldn't be any big mistakes."
"Um……"
The four of them had a sleepless night, seeing that the Wuji Sect was almost arriving, and Yuan Songqiao didn't come back either.
——
After a night of rest, Ling Yungao recovered a lot from his injuries.
When he arrived at the ancestral hall, he found Yuan Songqiao talking to the elders. He couldn't help but wonder: "Senior Brother Yuan? Didn't you go back?"
Yuan Songqiao glanced at him and smiled: "I'm not too worried, so I came back to help. Sect Master, the elders have already figured out a way to eliminate the devil. Are you going to do it today?"
"So fast?" Ling Yungao was surprised.
Yuan Songqiao stared at him closely: "Isn't the sooner the better for this kind of thing? Keeping that devil around will be a disaster after all."
Ling Yungao felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by him and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Yuan is right, but I don't know what the elders have thought of?"
"It's very simple." An elder who is good at formations took over. "Senior Ling's sealing formation is very complete. We only need to add a fire to the formation to burn the demon into ashes."
Ling Yungao frowned: "This demon is so powerful, can't it be burned by ordinary fire?"
"Of course, so we plan to invite the Lord of Qi Feng Valley Ji Valley to come. His Samadhi True Fire is the nemesis of monsters."
Hearing the Samadhi True Fire, Ling Yungao's back felt a throbbing pain: "Isn't this too much trouble for Lord Ji Valley?"
The elder waved his hand: "It is my duty to eliminate demons and protect the Tao. I just ask Master Ji to set the fire. He will not refuse."
Ling Yungao couldn't refute, so he could only say: "Okay, let's do it."
Ji Nanfeng received the summons and came in the afternoon.
He had a happy face and asked as soon as he arrived: "Where is my family's singing? I didn't cause any trouble to you, did I?"
The elders of the Ling family praised him and said, "Master Ji, you are so polite. Miss Ji has made a great contribution this time. If she hadn't helped, there would have been a big mess. Miss Ji is really brave and resourceful, and she is still young at her age." At such a young age, he is completely unafraid in the face of demons, he is truly a boy born out of a hero!"
"Yes! I heard that Miss Ji got fourth in the last spiritual training competition. In time, she will become a great person. There is hope for the next generation of Qifeng Valley. Master Ji's teachings are good."
Ji Nanfeng laughed heartily, his face flushed when he heard this, and he pretended to be modest: "Oh, no, no! This girl is very scaly, and I couldn't do anything about her, so I sent her to learn from Master Ling, and she didn't expect it to happen! The disciples of Wuji Religion still have their own tricks!"
When he said this, the Ling family and the elders felt at ease, and the atmosphere became more and more pleasant.
So everyone went over the plan again and got Ji Nanfeng's consent: "If the elders are in need, Ji will fully cooperate."
With the Samadhi True Fire in place, things were easy to handle, and the elders immediately started preparations.
While waiting, Yuan Songqiao asked Ling Yungao: "The sect master seems to be nervous?"
Ling Yungao replied: "Of course I am nervous. In the final analysis this time, it was our Ling family who failed in our duties and allowed this devil to escape... If we can solve it once and for all, it will be considered as making up for the mistake."
Yuan Songqiao nodded: "Don't worry, Sect Master, with so many of us watching this time, nothing will go wrong."
Not long after, the elder sent someone to invite Ji Nanfeng.
When the formation eye was opened and Ji Nanfeng poured the Samadhi True Fire into it, a faint scream came from inside.
Ling Yungao was stared at by Yuan Songqiao, not daring to show any expression on his face.
This demon was really powerful. The real fire of Samadhi burned for three days before the voices inside gradually became quieter. After another seven days, the reaction of the demonic energy finally disappeared.
The elders repeatedly checked and confirmed that the demon had been eliminated, and they breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, this demon is dead and the seal can be removed."
Yuan Songqiao asked: "Uncle, has this demon really dissipated? Even Senior Ling couldn't do it, so we solved it like this?"
The elder replied: "Senior Ling didn't do it because this demon was very powerful at the time. In the past few thousand years, it has consumed most of its strength and seriously injured the sealing formation again, so it gave us a chance. Yuan Yuan If my nephew is worried, you can check it a few more times."
Yuan Songqiao smiled: "If my uncle says that, then I'll be relieved."
Ling Yungao listened quietly beside him. When everything was settled and he returned to the room, he was already breaking out in a cold sweat.
