Xu Huaigu sat fearfully alone in the room arranged for them by Song Li. He was restless and restless. He could neither sit nor stand. He had changed back and forth several times.
He scratched his hair anxiously and helplessly, his eyes never leaving the tight door for a moment, almost forgetting to pass through the thick red door with gold threads, dragons and phoenixes, but Bai Xiaoyu and Li Zi didn't come back yet.
He now knew that these people had other motives for saving them.
First, Li Zi was reluctantly called away, and then Bai Xiaoyu. While he was waiting here to be called away, he seemed to be forgotten, and no one took care of him.
Not only did this not comfort him, it only made him more anxious and frightened.
It wouldn't matter if they were called, at least they would know their condition. Now being left here, I can only worry but can't do anything. This feeling of powerlessness is really uncomfortable.
Ten thousand thoughts flashed through his mind again, and he kept guessing what would happen next, but he rejected them one by one.
Anxiety occupies the mind, and a moment is as long as a year.
He put his ear to the ground and listened to the footsteps coming and going, approaching and then gradually moving away, but there was no one familiar.
He felt like he was being driven crazy, pacing back and forth in the room.
Suddenly the door creaked open, and Xu Huaigu suddenly turned around to see an old man coming in with a few cups of tea.
He turned his head in disappointment, but then thought of something randomly, and ran over quickly, and asked the man who was pouring tea into the cup with hope: "Old uncle, do you know where the two people who came in with me before went? "
The hot steam from the tea water is steaming, reflecting the clear green tea water. The old man serving tea shook his head firmly and said nothing.
It's not that he doesn't want to say it, but he really doesn't know. He didn't dare to say even a few words of comfort to the child.
This group of people was brought in by Captain Song himself, and it would be a major event for the entire continent. If something went wrong because of him, the servant who was caught, the Demon Sect would not let him die happily even if he died.
The old man brought the tea and poured the water and then left, leaving Xu Huaigu alone in the room feeling dejected.
After an unknown amount of time, the door was finally opened again. Xu Huaigu hurriedly went to see that Li Zi was being carried back by someone.
Xu Huaigu was ecstatic. He ran over and shouted, "Li Zi!"
But there was no voice response.
Xu Huaigu stepped forward and took a look, but Li Zi was unconscious. He was suddenly shocked and angry, looked at the person who brought her in, and asked angrily: "What did you do to her!"
The man put Li Zi down, expressionless, and left quickly without paying any attention to him.
Xu Huaigu was angry and anxious. He didn't know how Li Zi was doing, so he took a lot of effort to carry her to the bed.
Li Zi's expression was very peaceful, as if he was taking a nap, but he couldn't wake up no matter how much Xu Huaigu shook, which made him sweat profusely.
Xu Huaigu was helpless and didn't know what to do. He treated a dead horse as a living horse and simply poured tea on her face to try to wake her up, but it didn't help.
After working for a while without any improvement, Xu Huaigu slumped down on the ground in disappointment, helpless and helpless, like a person left behind by the world.
He sobbed silently, and crystal tears fell through the gaps between his fingers.
…
In a secret room dedicated to Song Li.
Song Ruo sat on a chair in front of Bai Xiaoyu, with Zhuer serving beside him. Bai Xiaoyu faced the two of them with hesitation on his face.
Song Li said patiently: "I know your origin. You came from a little white snake in the Nanbian Temple who ate incense and cultivated it, but do you know what this means?"
Bai Xiaoyu didn't understand why Song Ru brought her here and asked such a question again. Although Song Zhu saved their lives, she had no good feelings towards Song Zhu from the bottom of her heart, but she had to bow her head under the pressure of the situation.
She shook her head and said, "I don't know, please let me know, senior."
Song Li looked at her and said encouragingly: "This means that you are a white snake who has practiced the incense and fire divine way. You are rare in the world and have excellent cultivation talent."
Bai Xiaoyu frowned and asked in confusion: "Xianhuo Shinto? What is this? Why have I never heard of it?"
"You haven't had anyone to guide you in your practice since you were a child. It's normal not to have heard of it. Let me tell you."
Song Ru straightened his body and said: "There are thousands of great avenues in the world, and they end in different paths with the same destination. It is nothing more than becoming a god and ascending to another world.
In the world of cultivation, there are monks, sword cultivators, warriors, great demons, and ghosts. All living beings in the three realms are included. This is the tolerance of the Great Dao. But there is another path that is less known, which is what I call the Incense Shinto. "
"Do you know that there are really gods in the world? Many people think this is nonsense, but we upper-level monks all know that gods really exist.
Human beings have spirits, and so do plants, trees, birds and animals. Can’t rivers and lakes have spirits? Can the world's highways only allow living objects to travel? That would be too narrow-minded. The gods we are talking about are the spirits bred by the mountains, rivers and lakes themselves. They are born with the ability to control themselves. Their birth depends on nature, but their cultivation depends on humans.
Human beings build mountain temples in the mountains, water temples in rivers, and City God temples in cities, just like this. If the gods can rely on the incense and pious beliefs of humans to increase their cultivation, they must protect the peace of the land and water. This is the preference of heaven for humans. "
Song Ru stood up and walked to Bai Xiaoyu and said seriously: "But you... are a very strange exception. As a living creature, you actually practice the incense and fire Shinto. I have only seen it a few times in ancient books. It is very rare. .”
After hearing what he said, Bai Xiaoyu was still confused. She probably only knew that if she practiced cultivation, she should be very powerful?
So he wants to win over himself?
Sure enough, Song Ruo said: "Bai Xiaoyu, in view of your excellent cultivation talent, I advise you to join our Demon Sect. We can provide you with the best cultivation resources and ensure that you can rise to the top of the road and become an immortal in no time. Period, how about it?"
Bai Xiaoyu's expression of doubt became more intense, and then suddenly turned into shock, and asked: "Are you the Demon Sect? The one that worships the extraterrestrial black dragon?"
Song Ruo nodded and said, "Yes, that's us."
Bai Xiaoyu still heard about the great name of Demon Sect.
The most powerful sect in the world, she had listened to Jianghu people talk about it countless times in the temple. It's just that when they mentioned the Demon Sect, they were filled with resentment and wanted to kill everyone in the Demon Sect.
Bai Xiaoyu doubted whether this sect had been doing some evil things, so she asked again: "I have always heard that your reputation in the world is not very good. Why is this?"
As soon as this was mentioned, Zhu Er angrily spoke out: "It's just because we are monsters. Human beings are born to discriminate against us!"
Song Ru frowned and looked at Zhu Er. Zhu Er looked angry, and Song Ru couldn't help but have a headache.
He has always wanted to train Zhu Er as his successor, but Zhu Er has always had a bad temper and especially hates humans. Only high cultivation level cannot achieve great things. His climb to this position relies more on his exquisite ability.
He doesn't blame Zhu Er. He knows that many monsters have this idea. They are born like this. Just like many humans are born to hate monsters, the hatred engraved in their bones is difficult to change.
He told Bai Xiaoyu: "Zhu'er has a bad temper, but he probably means the right thing. Human beings hate us mostly because of our sect name and identity. Our sect is the strongest sect in the world, there is no doubt about it. , you will have a bright future waiting for you if you join us.”
Bai Xiaoyu was very hesitant. She thought for a long time before sighing and saying, "Thank you, Senior Song, for your support, but Bai is used to getting along with humans and has no lofty ambitions. He just wants to live a peaceful life and doesn't want any more changes."
Seeing that the temptation of profit failed, Song Ru became serious and said, "You want to live a peaceful life, but this is impossible. Don't you like that Taoist priest? Do you know who the Taoist priest is?"
"I only know that he is a Taoist priest from Mount Taihua."
Song Ruo sneered: "How much do you know about Taihua Mountain? The No. 1 Daoist sect in the world has tens of thousands of disciples spread all over the world. He, Sun Xiang, is the younger brother of the contemporary master of Taihua Mountain! A great monk of the Nine Realms and a great master of Fulu. , Formation Master! Are you worthy of him?"
Bai Xiaoyu was startled. She originally knew that the Taoist priest was very good, but she didn't know that he had such a big background.
She sighed and said: "In this case, I am not worthy of him, so there is no need to force him. It's just that we are not destined."
Song Li shook his head and said, "Then do you want to save his life?"
Bai Xiaoyu was shocked again and asked quickly: "Is his life in danger? Do you want to kill him?"
"It's not that we want to kill him, but the general trend of the world wants to kill him."
Song Ruo said seriously: "Do you know why he came to a desolate place like the southern part of Dayu Country? I might as well tell you that he is here to deal with the aftermath of Mo Long's escape."
"What!" Bai Xiaoyu exclaimed, "Molong escaped?"
"Yes, he escaped. The general trend of the world can be predicted. It can take as little as ten years or as many as twenty years. When Molong's strength recovers, he will inevitably lead the demon clan from outside the domain to attack. By then, the entire world will be destroyed. Can he escape? Only by joining our Demon Sect, Mo Long will let us live. Can you still see the situation clearly?"
Bai Xiaoyu frowned and thought about so much information quickly.
She asked: "Then you are sure that Mo Long will be able to come in? Maybe he can't defeat Zheng Dao?"
Song Ruo seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world, and laughed proudly and said: "Do you know how much effort they spent to suppress Molong? Two monks in the twelfth realm who relied on not being able to ascend, plus five monks in the eleventh realm , they worked together to suppress Molong. It was just suppression, they couldn't kill him at all!"
"And now? There is not a single twelve-level monk in the world. One of the two strongest eleventh-level monks is the great worship elder of our sect. The human race has declined and is no longer as strong as before. What can we do with Molong? beat?"
"You understand, as long as you join our Demon Sect, we guarantee that you will go straight to the sky and find a good position under Molong, and then you can protect the people you want to protect. Otherwise, relying on your current ability, disasters will happen Once you get here, there is only one way to die!”
"Think clearly!" Song Ruo slammed these words and left the secret room with Zhu Er.
Bai Xiaoyu was alone in the secret room, suddenly as if in a dream.
Song Ru's words kept echoing in her mind, making her confused and confused.
