At that moment, after the jujube tree was wrapped in flames, a shrill cry came from it.
The cry was a bit weird, and he couldn't place it. It was like a baby crying.
In an instant, the sea of fire flooded the entire jujube tree.
However, after the entire jujube tree was reduced to ashes, the shrill scream also disappeared.
Only the sword Qingfeng was left in the jujube tree, weeping in pain.
However, when he saw Jian Qingfeng's appearance, Meng Jing was stunned again.
The person sitting in the jujube tree and weeping over it was not an elderly man.
Instead, it was an old man with silver hair.
This old man has a wrinkled face and an old look.
After noticing that Meng Jing was looking this way, the old man also raised his head, looked at where Meng Jing was, and smiled.
This is because the other person has no teeth, and his smile is particularly different from that of the boy wearing a hood.
The most terrible thing is that this old man's face is yellow and thin, as if he is malnourished.
His physical condition is almost that of a skinny one.
If it weren't for the fact that the other party was still breathing, Meng Jing would have thought that the person sitting there was a dead person.
It was so miserable that he couldn't bear to continue watching.
But Elder Lie walked over.
As he walked over, Meng Jing saw that his face had turned into anger.
As for the fist, it was clenched tightly, as if he had a deep hatred for the other party.
When he was not sure that the new face was Jian Qingfeng, Meng Jing did not dare to call him by his name.
After all, the guy in front of me is too unbelievable.
But what makes people curious is Elder Lie. Did this old guy take some gunpowder? How could you be so angry?
Watching silently from the side, Elder Lie had already arrived in front of the skinny guy.
"Old boy."
"You were just adopted by the Ghost Sect as a blood infant, right?"
When Elder Lie said this, he spoke word by word.
It is enough to see that he is very excited now.
The old man also raised his head, looked at Elder Lie with a wry smile, and then secretly lowered his head.
It seemed that he didn't listen to what the other party just said.
"I'm asking you something."
"Old boy."
"answer me!"
Almost every word he said was shouted out in a roaring voice.
Meng Jing also hurried over and said, "Old sir, please don't be angry yet."
"calm down."
If Elder Li hadn't restrained his cultivation at this time, I'm afraid that all these words would have been a kind of torture to the old guy sitting on the ground.
After all, this old guy's body is too weak. If there is a slight fluctuation, he may burp directly.
However, from the words "old guy" spoken by Elder Lie, we can also tell that the old man sitting on the ground is none other than Jian Qingfeng himself.
But why did he become like this?
Just as he was about to ask about the ring, Yao Chen's helpless voice came out.
"Little baby, if it weren't for me, I would be afraid of exposing myself."
"I'm afraid I will kill this guy as soon as possible."
Although Yao Chen's voice was a bit dull, it could still be heard.
When he said this, he said it in a more serious tone, not like the usual joking and serious person.
"Why?"
Meng Jing suddenly felt curious and asked.
"Because this guy used blood infants to raise..."
"It's very possible that you, a little kid, are curious about what the so-called blood infant raising is."
"That's what I can tell you."
"When you entered the door, did you see any dates on this date tree?"
On this date tree, there are dates.
Isn't this normal?
Meng Jing nodded slightly.
"That's right, little doll."
"Every date you see is equivalent to a baby's life."
"It can be said that this old guy uses such evil techniques in order to maintain his strength and youth."
"It's really infuriating."
After hearing Yao Chen's words, Meng Jing was shocked and glanced blankly at Jian Qingfeng sitting on the ground.
"Old sir."
"You mean the date before, that every date on the tree is the life of a little baby?"
Meng Jing was afraid that he had heard wrongly, so he asked again worriedly.
Immediately, Yaochen just said a faint "hmm".
Just a faint "hmm" already made Meng Jing's entire cultivation strength almost go berserk.
Is this old guy still a human?
Calculated based on the number of dates on the date tree, there were at least several hundred.
No wonder he felt something strange about these dates when he entered.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be...
When he thought about drinking two cups of tea brewed like that, Meng Jing felt that his stomach was churning with discomfort.
"Are you okay, little brother?"
After seeing Meng Jing's abnormal change, Elder Li also loosened his fists.
He cast his gaze on Meng Jing and asked with concern.
Meng Jing waved his hand, but then moved forward and came to the old guy.
With a gentle grab, the old guy was lifted into the air.
Because all that is left of this old guy is skin and bones.
Therefore, the whole person's limbs are drooping.
Seeing Meng Jing again, who suddenly felt as violent as himself, Elder Lie asked: "Little brother."
"Don't you think you also know about this so-called blood infant raising?"
Meng Dingding nodded.
Immediately, Elder Li sighed and looked at Jian Qingfeng angrily.
"Old boy."
"I clearly remember that you are not that kind of person."
"Why would you do such a thing?"
"That's a life. You can do it. Are you still a human being?"
Facing Elder Lie's question, Jian Qingfeng slowly turned around.
His gaze swept directly over Meng Jing and landed on Elder Lie. A sneer appeared on his withered cheeks.
"You ask me why I would do such a thing?"
"Do you still remember those things from before?"
Although the voice was not loud, to the two people who remained silent, every sentence Jian Qingfeng said was mixed with a hint of excitement.
Elder Lie had a complicated expression.
"Which thing are you talking about?"
Jian Qingfeng chuckled, "What else are you asking about? Let's take today's events as an example."
"The flames erupted by the monster were supposed to be pure cold fire, suitable for me to absorb."
