A few months later.
The war ended and Qidi finally calmed down.
The East and West Liangqi land was in compliance with the regulations and had been completely controlled by the Yuan Demon Clan. At this time, there were only some matters left to clean up the remnants of the Hun Demon Clan, so Ji Liao simply returned to the Xuanmiao Sect again.
After Ji Liao returned to Xuanmiao Sect, the first thing he did was to go to the place where Wen Moyan was and ask him to refine the magic weapon for him to use for blood sacrifice and skull lifting in the future.
At this moment, Ji Liao was sitting cross-legged in the secret room, closing his eyes slightly, meditating on the blood sacrifice and refining method in his mind.
This Blood Sacrifice Refining Dao is a technique, not a skill, so there is no need to understand it too much, just follow the steps and take the medicine according to the prescription. The difference is just the level of proficiency.
Since returning that day, Sui Mo didn't know if he had devoured too many souls. After returning to Xuanmiao Sect, he immediately fell asleep. He had been sleeping for more than several months and had no intention of waking up.
Ji Liao didn't wake him up and directly put it back into the corpse soul summoning talisman. If Sui Mo wakes up and turns around, he will sense it immediately as he signed a master-servant contract with Sui Mo, so he doesn't need to take it to heart.
There was silence in the secret room. After a while, Ji Liao let out a long breath.
The beautiful, slightly curved eyelids moved and slowly opened.
A pair of dark eyes, shining like cold stars, looked at the closed door of the secret room.
"Wen Moyan is almost done refining it."
Ji Liao said quietly, then stood up and walked towards the door.
After a cup of tea.
A blue light flashed over the place where Wen Moyan and Mengyuetai were imprisoned, and Ji Liao's figure appeared.
That light shield remains the same all year round, always covering this place.
The outside world is not allowed to enter, and the inside is not allowed to go out.
Ji Liao raised his hand, and a green wood token immediately appeared on his palm.
As soon as the magic power was activated, the Aoki Token immediately created a mysterious wave and enveloped Ji Liao.
After doing this, Ji Liao didn't stay much. With a movement of his body, he pierced through the shrouded light barrier as if nothing existed and entered directly into the light barrier.
Although it is a prison, the area covered by this light shield is really not small, and the scenery is quite beautiful, but it is a rare place for Xuanmiao Sect to raise people.
Ji Liao fell into the void and glanced below.
But he saw a clear dense forest under his feet. The trees in this dense forest were generally not high, and the trees were quite sparse. Most of them had no trunks and started to branch out when they broke out of the ground.
The demonic energy here is thin, but it is enough to nurture these flowers, plants and trees.
But I saw that the sparse trees were covered with large green leaves, and among the green leaves were interspersed with clusters of fist-sized, purple flower buds.
The ground is covered with green weeds, and wild flowers are blooming everywhere, but it is spring flowers that are blooming and fragrant.
There is a forest path surrounded by grass. This forest path is not decorated and exposes the brown soil. However, this is not obtrusive, but blends with the scenery, making it more fresh and natural.
Ji Liao stepped on the path and walked slowly.
The beautiful scenery passed before his eyes, but Ji Liao showed no nostalgia, as if he was looking at a dead thing.
"Such a beautiful scenery, could it not be in your heart?" At this moment, a voice like a silver bell sounded from behind Ji Liao.
The corner of Ji Liao's mouth curled up and his steps stopped slightly.
Turning around, he saw Meng Yuetai's graceful figure standing behind him.
At this time, Mengyuetai has been trapped here for more than ten years, but fortunately they are all practitioners and can endure the coldness and loneliness.
And Mengyuetai itself is extremely beautiful. Although there is Wen Moyan here, fortunately, she can't see the demons that make her heart palpitate.
With great joy, Meng Yuetai returned to her former self, only to see that his black hair was coiled behind his head, with a cluster of flower buds hanging on it as decoration. As for the particularly revealing gauze dress that she deliberately wore, she now wore a silver plain robe, which made her even more charming.
"What? Does it look good?" Mengyuetai asked with a chuckle.
Ji Liao raised his eyebrows, wondering how many times he had answered Meng Yuetai's question.
"nice!"
"Does it look better now? Or did it look better before?" Mengyuetai asked again.
Ji Liao paused and rubbed his nose, "You look better now than before!"
"Hey, can't you tell? The Lord of the Seven Peaks who killed everyone in the Yuan Demon Realm is still so sweet." Meng Yuetai smiled sweetly, but he teased Ji Liao.
"Fellow Taoist Meng is joking," Ji Liao said, then paused and said again, "By the way, what happened to fellow Taoist Meng today? How can you be so leisurely looking at these trees, flowers, and trees here?"
"I'm so tired of not being able to practice! By the way, you haven't answered me yet. Do you not like these things?"
"We cultivators have already seen through the essence of things. The creatures in the world are nothing but dust on the road, and the beautiful scenery in the world is nothing more than clouds and smoke."
"The Master of the Seven Peaks is surprised by this statement. According to what my fellow Taoist said, everything in the world is useless." Meng Yuetai paused slightly when he said this, then leaned down and picked off an upright and blooming flower branch.
"Master Qifeng, please see, this is derived from the great road. Although it is dust, it can be beautiful for a while. Although it will eventually wither, it was seen by you and me at this time of its peak. You said this Is that what it’s worth?”
Ji Liao smiled and glanced at Meng Yuetai, "Hey, I don't think this is how deep Taoist Meng's understanding of the Tao is, but it is in line with that old saying."
"What old saying?" Mengyuetai asked.
"Don't quarrel with anyone, and don't quarrel with women. You can't explain why."
"Hahaha, fellow Taoist, you have finally understood the true meaning between men and women." Meng Yuetai immediately covered her mouth and laughed after hearing this, and her graceful body swayed.
Ji Liao also grinned and chuckled a few times.
After staying in the Yuan Demon Realm for decades, at the beginning, he lived for survival, and then he ran for the Yuan Demon Clan. The people he met every day were all strange demons, and the things he encountered every day were not Beating and killing means genocide and genocide, a lawsuit on the forehead.
Now that he is free, Ji Liao and Meng Yuetai are alone, chatting and laughing, giving Ji Liao a sense of familiarity that he has not seen for a long time, and his mood is much better.
"Master Seventh Peak, are you going to find Senior Wen Moyanwen?" Meng Yuetai asked.
Ji Liao nodded slightly.
"Senior Wen is still refining the magic weapon for you, and he hasn't come out yet."
"Oh? Really?" Ji Liao said.
"But it should be soon. I recently saw a wave of aura emanating from his retreat place. I think he will be released soon."
"Then I'll come back another day." Ji Liao frowned slightly when he heard this, and then said.
"It's been quite some time since we've been going back and forth. If Master Seven Peaks has nothing to do, why not wait here for a while." Mengyuetai said to persuade Ji Liao to stay.
"That's...ok!" Ji Liao hesitated, but finally agreed.
Qidi is already in his hands, and Ji Liao is just an idler now. If he leaves here, even if he has nothing to do, the surrounding environment will still make Ji Liao's heart feel heavy. He might as well take this opportunity to relax. It would be good to discuss things with Mengyuetai here, even if it is just a few gossips, at least this Mengyuetai is a woman from a human race.
"Come with me, I have a good place to go." Meng Yuetai chuckled, and then led Ji Liao along this winding path.
The place was not big, and before Ji Liao had even turned a few steps out, he heard the sound of rushing water reaching his ears.
After a while, I saw a creek about ten feet long, winding through the woods.
The stream was clear, with water waves rippling on it. There was no day or night at this time, but the stars in the void were printed on the water waves, just like fireflies swimming in the stream.
The stream flows very slowly, and there are patches of green grass on both sides of the bank.
Mengyuetai led Ji Liao to a shore, lightly brushed his silver plain robe with his hands, and sat directly on the grass.
Ji Liao's eyes flashed, he thought for a while, and sat down with Mengyuetai.
Looking at the dripping light in front of her, Meng Yuetai's beautiful eyes flashed for a while. After a while, she chuckled softly, and seemed to be sighing something.
"In fact, for more than ten years, I have been thinking about why I entered Taoism."
"Oh? Do you understand?"
"I understand, but I don't understand."
"What do you mean by this?"
"Back then, when I entered Taoism, I was spotted by a wandering monk and accepted as a disciple. However, that monk died in a fight with others. I practiced on my own with the broken skills left by that monk. I was a wandering immortal for a while, until I met my master in Xuanguang Cave, and then I stabilized."
"That being the case, what is it that fellow Taoist Meng doesn't understand?" Ji Liao asked.
"Actually, before I entered Taoism, I was the daughter of a wealthy family. As long as my parents find me a husband in the future, I can live a hundred years of life without any trouble. Speaking of which, that wandering monk forcibly took me It was not my original wish to enter the Taoist sect, so I have no feelings for my master."
"That's it!" Ji Liao nodded slightly, then asked, "Since that wandering monk has died, why don't you go home and choose to continue practicing?"
"This is also something I don't understand. Maybe it was because I yearned for immortality at that time, or maybe after I entered the Tao, I have become an alien among mortals."
"Hehehe." Ji Liao chuckled.
In Fanyun Continent, the boundary between immortal cultivators and mortals is extremely clear. Immortal cultivators are not allowed to interfere with the lives of mortals without authorization, otherwise they will be killed by the immortal cultivators, just like the Huang family of immortal cultivators back then.
And Mengyuetai has become a Taoist, transcending the ordinary world. Even if she returns home, even her parents will have to regard her as a god, and she will no longer have the warmth of the past.
"Hey, the road is rough." Mengyuetai sighed softly, paused for a moment, then turned to look at Ji Liao, "Where is the Lord of the Seven Peaks?"
"Me?" Ji Liao was stunned for a moment, thought about it for a moment and then replied calmly, "For a promise!"
"Promise?" Meng Yuetai sounded suspicious, then asked again, "What kind of promise can bring a mortal to where he is now!"
Ji Liao smiled bitterly and shook his head silently.
Over the past hundreds of years, what Ji Liao has hidden in his heart is the promise he made to Ji Yunxiao. This promise has become his lingering nightmare. If he does not kill Taoist Hua Yun, then his Taoist heart will not be able to There is no need to talk about the great road when it is perfect.
Seeing that Ji Liao didn't want to elaborate, Meng Yuetai raised his eyebrows and said, "I have known the Seventh Peak Master for so long, but I still don't know about the Seventh Peak Master's family in Fanyun Continent."
"My family?" Ji Liao echoed, and faces immediately flashed before his eyes. After a moment, he showed a warm smile that he had not seen for a long time, "They..."
